Description
Flags verbs that imply the first time redundantly used with the word "first":
Some verbs make this implication with much more certainty, while others depend more on the context, so the
messagevaries based on the verb.The current patterns only cover the examples from the GitHub issue rather than trying to cover a wide range of hypothetical patterns. Running this on the fuzzer could be quite helpful.
So the chance of false negatives is reasonable. File bugs or comment here for false positives and negatives.
How Has This Been Tested?

I asked some AI for some coding idea but wrote all the code here myself.
