Description

Per #5840 (comment):

We should actually be able to do this without type info and just with the scope analysis APIs.

Not using type information where possible is preferable for rules. See https://typescript-eslint.io/docs/linting/typed-linting/.

Fail

Pass

(same as before)

Additional Info

This rule is only in the strict config, not one of the recommended ones (yet). So it wouldn't be a breaking change to use the scope manager.
