This is a bit of a personal preference, but I have a strong desire to promote the practice of not granting broad permissions too easily.

I was confused by the permissions option in Deno.test, so I’d like to suggest a correction.
In the early example,
permissions: { read: true },is included, but the test actually passes even without it. I found this point unclear, so I think it should be removed.A more detailed explanation is provided in the
## Tests and Permissionssection, but including the unnecessarypermissions: { read: true },there as well makes the line "allows you to specifically deny permissions, but does not grant them." harder to understand.What do you think?
