stylelint: Misleading error for declaration-block-no-ignored-properties with display: inline-block and float

Describe the issue:

This is a great rule, but I think the rationale behind disallowing display: inline-block + float is slightly incorrect. Adding float makes the inline-block part ignored, not the other way around. The phrasing in rule’s current README suggests the inverse behavior – that display: inline-block causes float to be ignored – which is incorrect because adding float does affect the appearance of the element.

Which rule, if any, is this issue related to?
