    /// Checks for no-op uses of Option::{as_deref,as_deref_mut},
    /// for example, `Option<&T>::as_deref()` returns the same type.
    ///
    /// ### Why is this bad?
    /// Redundant code and improving readability.
    ///
    /// ### Example
    /// ```rust
    /// let a = Some(&1);
    /// let b = a.as_deref(); // goes from Option<&i32> to Option<&i32>
    /// ```
    /// Could be written as:
    /// ```rust
    /// let a = Some(&1);
    /// let b = a;
    /// ```
