* Checks whether it can fix a given variable declaration or not.
* It cannot fix if the following cases:
*
* - A variable is a global variable.
* - A variable is declared on a SwitchCase node.
* - A variable is redeclared.
* - A variable is used from outside the scope.
* - A variable is used from a closure within a loop.
* - A variable might be used before it is assigned within a loop.
* - A variable might be used in TDZ.
* - A variable is declared in statement position (e.g. a single-line `IfStatement`)
* - A variable has name that is disallowed for `let` declarations.
*
* ## A variable is declared on a SwitchCase node.
*
* If this rule modifies 'var' declarations on a SwitchCase node, it
* would generate the warnings of 'no-case-declarations' rule. And the
* 'eslint:recommended' preset includes 'no-case-declarations' rule, so
* this rule doesn't modify those declarations.
*
* ## A variable is redeclared.
*
* The language spec disallows redeclarations of `let` declarations.
* Those variables would cause syntax errors.
*
* ## A variable is used from outside the scope.
*
* The language spec disallows accesses from outside of the scope for
* `let` declarations. Those variables would cause reference errors.
*
* ## A variable is used from a closure within a loop.
*
* A `var` declaration within a loop shares the same variable instance
* across all loop iterations, while a `let` declaration creates a new
* instance for each iteration. This means if a variable in a loop is
* referenced by any closure, changing it from `var` to `let` would
* change the behavior in a way that is generally unsafe.
*
* ## A variable might be used before it is assigned within a loop.
*
* Within a loop, a `let` declaration without an initializer will be
* initialized to null, while a `var` declaration will retain its value
* from the previous iteration, so it is only safe to change `var` to
* `let` if we can statically determine that the variable is always
* assigned a value before its first access in the loop body. To keep
* the implementation simple, we only convert `var` to `let` within
* loops when the variable is a loop assignee or the declaration has an
* initializer.
*
* @param {ASTNode} node - A variable declaration node to check.
* @returns {boolean} `true` if it can fix the node.
