/// **What it does:** Detects giving a mutable reference to a function that only
/// requires an immutable reference.
///
/// **Why is this bad?** The immutable reference rules out all other references
/// to the value. Also the code misleads about the intent of the call site.
///
/// **Known problems:** None.
///
/// **Example:**
/// ```rust
/// my_vec.push(&mut value)
/// ```
