-    /// ### What it does
-    /// Checks for references in expressions that use
-    /// auto dereference.
-    ///
-    /// ### Why is this bad?
-    /// The reference is a no-op and is automatically
-    /// dereferenced by the compiler and makes the code less clear.
-    ///
-    /// ### Example
-    /// ```rust
-    /// struct Point(u32, u32);
-    /// let point = Point(30, 20);
-    /// let x = (&point).0;
-    /// ```
-    /// Use instead:
-    /// ```rust
-    /// # struct Point(u32, u32);
-    /// # let point = Point(30, 20);
-    /// let x = point.0;
-    /// ```
