in-wildcard-key

Summary: Unnecessary wildcard key

Category: Idiomatic

Avoid

package policy

allow if {
    # since only the value is used, we don't need to iterate the keys
    some _, user in input.users

    # do something with each user
}

Prefer

package policy

allow if {
    some user in input.users

    # do something with each user
}

Rationale

The some .. in iteration form can either iterate only values:

some value in object

Or keys and values:

some key, value in object

Using a wildcard variable for the key in the key-value form is thus unnecessary, and:

some _, value in object

Can simply be replaced by:

some value in object
