# wrong-receiver-convention

Require receiver forms matching the method's name convention

Method prefixes communicate whether an operation borrows, mutates, or consumes its receiver.
Instead, `as` methods SHOULD borrow, `into` methods SHOULD consume, `from` methods SHOULD be static, and `toMut` methods SHOULD borrow with mutable access.
