/**
 * <p>
 * Checks that interface type parameter names conform to a specified pattern.
 * </p>
 * <ul>
 * <li>
 * Property {@code format} - Specifies valid identifiers.
 * Type is {@code java.util.regex.Pattern}.
 * Default value is {@code "^[A-Z]$"}.
 * </li>
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * To configure the check:
 * </p>
 * <pre>
 * &lt;module name="InterfaceTypeParameterName"/&gt;
 * </pre>
 * <p>Code Example:</p>
 * <pre>
 * interface FirstInterface&lt;T&gt; {} // OK
 * interface SecondInterface&lt;t&gt; {} // violation, name 't' must match pattern '^[A-Z]$'
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 * An example of how to configure the check for names that are only a single
 * letter is:
 * </p>
 * <pre>
 * &lt;module name="InterfaceTypeParameterName"&gt;
 *    &lt;property name="format" value="^[a-zA-Z]$"/&gt;
 * &lt;/module&gt;
 * </pre>
 * <p>Code Example:</p>
 * <pre>
 * interface FirstInterface&lt;T&gt; {} // OK
 * interface SecondInterface&lt;t&gt; {} // OK
 * interface ThirdInterface&lt;type&gt; {} // violation, name 'type' must
 *                                         // match pattern '^[a-zA-Z]$'
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 * Parent is {@code com.puppycrawl.tools.checkstyle.TreeWalker}
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Violation Message Keys:
 * </p>
 * <ul>
 * <li>
 * {@code name.invalidPattern}
 * </li>
 * </ul>
