Detect doubled unnecessary_parenthesis, but allow ternary and equality#3887
Conversation
This implements new rules for `unnecessary_parenthesis` lint:
* `${( )}` and `(( ))` are never OK, drop the inner ones
else,
* `(a ? b : c)` is always OK
* `(a == b)` and `(a != b)` are OK in assignment-like and return-like statements.

(a ? b : c)is always OK(a == b)and(a != b)are OK in assignment-like and return-like statements.This pull request addresses two seemingly completely separate changes, but I think it should be done all at once. That is because:
Currently some cases where doubled parentheses happen to be dropped are cases of
((a == b))etc. So I'd be introducing more false negatives if I remove the old reason to drop these but not add the new one.Removing doubled parentheses just misses one case of
ArgumentListso it's unclear why I am adding all the other numerous cases here. But more rules are necessary only because they will become the only reason for some cases of((a ? b : c))to still be dropped.
