 Sort globbed results by default in Ruby 3.0.
 This cop checks for redundant `sort` method to `Dir.glob` and `Dir[]`.
 
+=== Safety
+
+This cop is unsafe, in case of having a file and a directory with
+identical names, since directory will be loaded before the file, which
+will break `exe/files.rb` that rely on `exe.rb` file.
