+/// ## Fix safety
+/// This rule's fix is marked as unsafe, as calling `.reverse()` on a list
+/// will mutate the list in-place, unlike `reversed`, which creates a new list
+/// and leaves the original list unchanged.
+///
+/// If the list is referenced elsewhere, this could lead to unexpected
+/// behavior.
