Research direction

Use the issue's bad and good Swift examples as the behavioral specification, then locate existing SwiftLint opt-in rules for spacing and their tests. Done means the rule detects spaces after [ and before ] in subscripts, array literals, return expressions, and capture lists, while accepting the corresponding compact forms.
