NotPrecededByPattern (Teamscale Check Framework API)

```
public class NotPrecededByPattern
extends ZeroLengthTokenPatternBase
```
Matches, if the given subpattern does not match at the position before the current position in the token stream. NOTE: passing a TokenPattern as the subpattern to this class will not result in an exception, but it will not yield the intuitive result. The given pattern will be matched against the token stream, starting with the token preceding the current token. It is therefore discouraged to pass a TokenPattern to this function as it makes understanding the pattern difficult.
