Reports declarations of procedures and functions that are missing their implementation in code.

In Oracle, you can declare a procedure or a function without its body, and write the implementation later. The inspection will report names of such procedures or functions that are left without implementation.

Example (Oracle):

The foo procedure is declared but is missing implementation. We can add the implementation to get rid of the error.
