Inspectopedia 2025.2 Help

Unnecessary braces

Reports pattern lists that are either empty {} or contain just one pattern, for example {foo} in contrast to a list containing multiple patterns, for example {foo,bar}. In this case braces are handled as a part of the name. For example, the pattern *.{a} will match the file my.{a} but not my.a.
