	//           For example, `if ${{ matrix.foo }}; then ...` -> `if _________________; then ...`
	// - SC2050: The expression is constant. This sometimes happens at `if` condition by replacing ${{ }} with
	//           underscores (#45). For example, `if [ "${{ matrix.foo }}" = "x" ]` -> `if [ "_________________" = "x" ]`
	// - SC2154: The var is referenced but not assigned. Script at `run:` can refer variables defined in `env:` section
	//           so this rule can cause false positives (#53).
	// - SC2157: Argument to -z is always false due to literal strings. When the argument of -z is replaced from ${{ }},
	//           this can happen. For example, `if [ -z ${{ env.FOO }} ]` -> `if [ -z ______________ ]` (#113).
