Expected result

The lint rule lint/complexity/noForEach is very useful for plain arrays, and I would like to enable it.

I read the caveat on the rule page. In our codebase however, we use a lot of Effect, a functional programming library. Effect.forEach is used often enough that it would be bothersome to add biome-ignore comments to every usage.

Would it be feasible to make this rule configurable to ignore some objects?

Code of Conduct

• I agree to follow Biome's Code of Conduct

[Sec-ant]

Would it be feasible to make this rule configurable to ignore some objects?

I personally have no objection to that but would like to know how others see it. We had this similar issue in #1205, but the Effect lib is clearly a more convincing use case.
