 ## When Not To Use It
 
 Disable this rule if sequence expressions with the comma operator are acceptable.
-Another case is where you might want to report all usages of the comma operator, even if they are wrapped in parentheses or in a for loop. You can achieve this using rule `no-restricted-syntax`:
