noGlobalIsFinite (since v1.0.0)

Diagnostic Category: lint/suspicious/noGlobalIsFinite

Use Number.isFinite instead of global isFinite.

Number.isFinite() and isFinite() have not the same behavior. When the argument to isFinite() is not a number, the value is first coerced to a number. Number.isFinite() does not perform this coercion. Therefore, it is a more reliable way to test whether a number is finite.
