Hi, thanks for the proposal.

I'm a bit confused because I'm not sure I understand the problem with the code above. How would the rule recommend writing it instead?

Also, does the object-shorthand rule already cover this case?

Is this covered by object-shorthand? I'm confused, maybe I'm missing something.

Ah! So it is. Maybe I can add a cross-reference in the documentation. Thanks!

A documentation PR to add cross-reference(s) would be wonderful, thanks!
