Style/HashConversion cop is unsafe for arguments that are not enclosed in parentheses.

[ekrc-1]

Expected behavior

Safe auto correct of Style/HashConversion should not introduce errors in the code.

Actual behavior

If the auto-correct target is an argument without parentheses, the line will be interpreted as a SyntaxError or One-line pattern matching after correct.

Steps to reproduce the problem

Create example.rb :

# frozen_string_literal: true

puts Hash['a', 'b']

Next, run the following to reproduce the error:

bundle exec rubocop --debug --enable-pending-cops -a example.rb

$ bundle exec rubocop --debug --enable-pending-cops -a example.rb
