* Used for check whether the method passed as a parameter was declared in the current instance or inherited.
* If a base_class_name is passed, it checks whether the method was declared in that class. If the method's
* declaring class is the class passed as $base_class_name, it returns false. Otherwise (method was NOT declared
* in $base_class_name), it returns true.
* Example #1 - only $method_name is passed:
* The initial declaration of `register_controls()` happens in the `Controls_Stack` class. However, all
* widgets which have their own controls declare this function as well, overriding the original
* declaration. If `has_own_method()` would be called by a Widget's class which implements `register_controls()`,
* with 'register_controls' passed as the first parameter - `has_own_method()` will return true. If the Widget
* does not declare `register_controls()`, `has_own_method()` will return false.
* Example #2 - both $method_name and $base_class_name are passed
* In this example, the widget class inherits from a base class `Widget_Base`, and the base implements
* `register_controls()` to add certain controls to all widgets inheriting from it. `has_own_method()` is called by
* the widget, with the string 'register_controls' passed as the first parameter, and 'Elementor\Widget_Base' (its full name
* including the namespace) passed as the second parameter. If the widget class implements `register_controls()`,
* `has_own_method` will return true. If the widget class DOESN'T implement `register_controls()`, it will return
* false (because `Widget_Base` is the declaring class for `register_controls()`, and not the class that called
* @param string $method_name
* @param string $base_class_name
* @return bool True if the method was declared by the current instance, False if it was inherited.

It is recommended that you Edit text format, this type of Fix handles quite a lot in one request
