 This style of code isn't super common - which means having this option set to `true` _should_ be safe in most codebases. However we default it to `false` due to its unsafe nature. We have provided this option for convenience because it increases the autofix cases covered by the rule. If you set option to `true` the onus is entirely on you and your team to ensure that each fix is correct and safe and that it does not break the build.
