Rule proposal: unicode-bom (byte order mark, U+FEFF)

See original GitHub issue

When does this rule warn? When there is a BOM in a file checked by ESLint. This has happened to me after inheriting some code. My editor (atom) doesn’t show the mark, but I see it on git diff.

Is this rule preventing an error or is it stylistic? Stylistic

Why is this rule a candidate for inclusion instead of creating a custom rule? I believe this rule is related to whitespace rules, which are in the ESLint core already.

Are you willing to create the rule yourself? Yes, though I am not sure how to, yet.

To confirm, we’ll be implementing unicode-bom with always/never, not no-bom with no option, correct?

If so, can someone please change the title of this issue accordingly? Thanks!

Sounds like @mysticatea is championing this rule.
