Implicit Default Member Access

Identifies the use of non-indexed default member accesses.

Reasoning

Default member accesses hide away the actually called member. This is especially misleading if there is no indication in the expression that such a call is made and can cause errors in which a member was forgotten to be called to go unnoticed.
