Bug of Style/SpaceInsideHashLiteralBraces

[nodo]

Rubcop raises a style violation when the value of on hash is an open curly bracket in a string (see below).

Expected behavior

This line of code should not be a rubocop offense:

{ key: '{' }

Please note that there is just 1 space surrounding the string. Any other character does not raise a style violation.

Actual behavior

Inspecting 1 file
C

Offenses:

rubocop_issue.rb:1:7: C: Space inside empty hash literal braces detected.
{ key: '{' }
      ^^^

1 file inspected, 1 offense detected

Steps to reproduce the problem

1. Create a file with this line { key: '{' }
2. Run rubocop

RuboCop version

$ rubocop -V
