Too complex chained comparisons

Reports chained comparisons that can be simplified.

Example:

def do_comparison(x): xmin = 10 xmax = 100 if x >= xmin and x <= xmax: pass

The IDE offers to simplify if x >= xmin and x <= xmax. When the quick-fix is applied, the code changes to:

def do_comparison(x): xmin = 10 xmax = 100 if xmin <= x <= xmax: pass
