Rule: ArrayIsStoredDirectly

Description:
Hi, I found a false negative about the rule ArrayIsStoredDirectly. PMD should have reported a warning in line 3 because the array is stored directly. Actually, I think this false negative is caused by a "complex" expression (x). Thanks for your consideration.

Code Sample demonstrating the issue:

String [] arr;
void foo (String[] x) {
    arr = (x);  // should report a warning here
}

Expected outcome:

PMD should report a violation at line 3, but doesn't. This is a false-negative.
