    /// `x.last()`.
    ///
    /// **Why is this bad?** Using `x.last()` is easier to read and has the same
    /// result.
    ///
    /// Note that using `x[x.len() - 1]` is semantically different from
    /// `x.last()`.  Indexing into the array will panic on out-of-bounds
    /// accesses, while `x.get()` and `x.last()` will return `None`.
    ///
    /// There is another lint (get_unwrap) that covers the case of using
    /// `x.get(index).unwrap()` instead of `x[index]`.
    ///
    /// **Known problems:** None.
    ///
    /// **Example:**
    ///
    /// ```rust
    /// // Bad
    /// let x = vec![2, 3, 5];
    /// let last_element = x.get(x.len() - 1);
    ///
    /// // Good
    /// let x = vec![2, 3, 5];
    /// let last_element = x.last();
    /// ```
