Explain why in the standard description

rodrigoprimo · rodrigoprimo · commit bc4c983292b4 · 2026-02-06T15:20:58.000-03:00
Following the suggestion in PR 2687, this commit improves the
standard description to explain why these functions must not
be used.

The phrasing is kept generic instead of mentioning
create_function() specifically, since the sniff name suggests
it could be extended with more functions in the future.
