const foo = index >= 0 ? array[index] : undefined;
const foo = index < 0 ? undefined : array[index];

const foo = index <= array.length - 1 ? array[index] : undefined;
const foo = index > array.length - 1 ? undefined : array[index];

const foo = index >= 5 ? array[index - 5] : undefined;

const foo = array[index];

const foo = index >= 0 ? array[index] : bar;

I'm not sure if we should add this to no-useless-undefined or add a new rule.

Research direction: Inspect the existing `no useless undefined` rule in the repository, understand its logic, and then add support for detecting array access patterns where the ternary can be simplified to direct array access. Write test cases for both pass and fail scenarios.
