Interview Prompt
A linter pass over template source needs to flag mismatched brackets before a file ships. Given a string `s` that may hold any characters, return whether every `()`, `[]`, and `{}` pair closes in the correct order, so `([)]` is rejected even though the counts match. Characters that aren't brackets don't affect the result, and a string with no brackets is balanced.
Summary
Brackets opened and closed. The nesting might be off.
