Code inspection: Place assignment expression into block

This inspection reports an assignment-like expression used directly as a standalone side effect when the configured syntax style prefers putting it into a block. The goal is to make side effects more explicit in expression-bodied members, lambdas, and single-statement control-flow branches.

Example

                class Enblock
                {
                    public Enblock(string name) => Name = name;
                    public string Name { get; set; }
                    public void Method()
                    {
                        Action action = () => value = 42;
                        if (value > 0)
                            value = 53;
                    }
                    private int value;
                }
            

                class Enblock
                {
                    public Enblock(string name)
                    {
                        Name = name;
                    }
                    public string Name { get; set; }
                    public void Method()
                    {
                        Action action = () => { value = 42; };
                        if (value > 0)
                        {
                            value = 53;
                        }
                    }
                    private int value;
                }
