Exported element should have its own declaration

Reports exported variables or constants in comma-separated lists of declarations.

Example:

const C1, C3, C2, C44, C9, C11, C6 = 1, 2, 3, 1, 3, 2, 1

This declaration makes it hard to understand what value each constant has. You can apply the Extract to own declaration quick-fix to make this declaration more readable. After the quick-fix is applied to each constant, the declaration looks as follows:

const (
 C3  = 2
 C2  = 3
 C44 = 1
 C9  = 3
 C11 = 2
 C6  = 1
 C1  = 1
)
