+/// ## Fix safety
+///
+/// The fix is always marked unsafe because it assumes that slicing an object
+/// (e.g., `obj[1:]`) produces a value with the same type and iteration behavior
+/// as the original object, which is not guaranteed for user-defined types that
+/// override `__getitem__` without properly handling slices. Moreover, the fix
+/// could delete comments.
