//! Checks for continue statements in loops that are redundant. //! //! For example, the lint would catch //! //! ```rust //! let mut a = 1; //! let x = true; //! //! while a < 5 { //! a = 6; //! if x { //! // ... //! } else { //! continue; //! } //! println!("Hello, world"); //! } //! ``` //! //! And suggest something like this: //! //! ```rust //! let mut a = 1; //! let x = true; //! //! while a < 5 { //! a = 6; //! if x { //! // ... //! println!("Hello, world"); //! } //! } //! ``` //! //!
