      # `AllowSafeAssignment` option for safe assignment.
      # By safe assignment we mean putting parentheses around
      # an assignment to indicate "I know I'm using an assignment

      # @safety
      #   This cop's autocorrection is unsafe because it assumes that
      #   the author meant to use an assignment result as a condition.
