/// **What it does:** Checks for fields in struct literals where shorthands
/// could be used.
/// 
/// **Why is this bad?** If the field and variable names are the same,
/// the field name is redundant.
/// 
/// **Known problems:** None.
/// 
/// **Example:**
/// ```rust
/// let bar: u8 = 123;
/// 
/// struct Foo {
///     bar: u8,
/// }
/// 
/// let foo = Foo{ bar: bar }
/// ```
