    /// Checks for expressions where `std::cmp::min` and `max` are
    /// used to clamp values, but switched so that the result is constant.
    ///
    /// ### Why is this bad?
    /// This is in all probability not the intended outcome. At
    /// the least it hurts readability of the code.
    ///
    /// ### Example
    /// ```ignore
    /// min(0, max(100, x))
    /// ```
    /// or
    /// ```ignore
    /// x.max(100).min(0)
    /// ```
    /// It will always be equal to `0`. Probably the author meant to clamp the value
    /// between 0 and 100, but has erroneously swapped `min` and `max`.
