/**
 * react-no-unbound-dispatcher-props
 *
 * This custom eslint rule is highly specific to GitHub Desktop and attempts
 * to prevent errors caused by passing unbound dispatcher methods as callbacks
 * to components.
 *
 * Example
 *
 * <Resizable onReset={this.props.dispatcher.resetSidebarWidth} />
 *
 * The example above will fail at runtime because the resetSidebarWidth method
 * is invoked with the `this` context not set to the dispatcher instance. The
 * solution is to wrap the dispatcher callback in a bound instance method and
 * passing that to the component in question.
 *
 * private handleReset = () => { this.props.dispatcher.resetSidebarWidth }
 * ...
 * <Resizable onReset={this.handleReset} />
