/// **What it does:** Checks for construction of a structure or tuple just to
/// assign a value in it.
///
/// **Why is this bad?** Readability. If the structure is only created to be
/// updated, why not write the structure you want in the first place?
///
/// **Known problems:** None.
///
/// **Example:**
/// ```rust
/// (0, 0).0 = 1
/// ```
