/**
 * Checks for incorrect use of the $wpdb->prepare method.
 *
 * Checks the following issues:
 * - The only placeholders supported are: %d, %f (%F), %s, %i, and their variations.
 * - Literal % signs need to be properly escaped as `%%`.
 * - Simple placeholders (%d, %f, %F, %s, %i) should be left unquoted in the query string.
 * - Complex placeholders - numbered and formatted variants - will not be quoted
 *   automagically by $wpdb->prepare(), so if used for values, should be quoted in
 *   the query string.
 *   The only exception to this is complex placeholders for %i. In that case, the
 *   replacement *will* still be backtick-quoted.
 * - Either an array of replacements should be passed matching the number of
 *   placeholders found or individual parameters for each placeholder should
 *   be passed.
 * - Wildcards for LIKE compare values should be passed in via a replacement parameter.
 *
 * The sniff allows for a specific pattern with a variable number of placeholders
 * created using code along the lines of:
 * `sprintf( 'query .... IN (%s) ...', implode( ',', array_fill( 0, count( $something ), '%s' ) ) )`.
