Code

unsafe fn foo() {}

fn bar() {
    'blk: {
        match true {
            true => break 'blk unsafe { foo() },
            false => break 'blk (unsafe { foo() }),
        }
    }
}

Current output

Desired output

// kind of unclear whether the one or the other should win. In any case, not both.

Rationale and extra context

In the example, both match branches have contradictory suggestions: the top branch suggests to add parentheses around the unsafe { ... }, while the bottom branch suggests to remove the unnecessary parentheses.

My intuition is that only vanilla blocks should trigger the lint in this postion, and that for unsafe it is sufficiently clear what the code does. e.g. this is invalid blk: unsafe { /* ... */ } so there is no ambiguity.

There is also not a loop in sight in my example, which also suggests that this lint is misapplied here.

A const { } expression only reports the unnecessary parens error.
