    /// ### What it does
    /// Checks for usages of the `ref` keyword.
    ///
    /// ### Why restrict this?
    /// The `ref` keyword can be confusing for people unfamiliar with it, and often
    /// it is more concise to use `&` instead.
    ///
    /// ### Example
    /// ```no_run
    /// let opt = Some(5);
    /// if let Some(ref foo) = opt {}
    /// ```
    /// Use instead:
    /// ```no_run
    /// let opt = Some(5);
    /// if let Some(foo) = &opt {}
    /// ```
