    /// whether the read occurs before or after the write depends on the evaluation
    /// order of sub-expressions.
    ///
    /// ### Why is this bad?
    /// It is often confusing to read. As described [here](https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/expressions.html?highlight=subexpression#evaluation-order-of-operands),
    /// the operands of these expressions are evaluated before applying the effects of the expression.
    ///
    /// ### Known problems
    /// Code which intentionally depends on the evaluation
    /// order, or which is correct for any evaluation order.
    ///
    /// ### Example
    /// ```rust
    /// let mut x = 0;
    ///
    /// // Bad
    /// let a = {
    ///     x = 1;
    ///     1
    /// } + x;
    /// // Unclear whether a is 1 or 2.
    ///
    /// // Good
    /// let tmp = {
    ///     x = 1;
    ///     1
    /// };
    /// let a = tmp + x;
