/// **What it does:** Checks for generics with `std::ops::Drop` as bounds.
///
/// **Why is this bad?** `Drop` bounds do not really accomplish anything.
/// A type may have compiler-generated drop glue without implementing the
/// `Drop` trait itself. The `Drop` trait also only has one method,
/// `Drop::drop`, and that function is by fiat not callable in user code.
/// So there is really no use case for using `Drop` in trait bounds.
///
/// The most likely use case of a drop bound is to distinguish between types
/// that have destructors and types that don't. Combined with specialization,
/// a naive coder would write an implementation that assumed a type could be
/// trivially dropped, then write a specialization for `T: Drop` that actually
/// calls the destructor. Except that doing so is not correct; String, for
/// example, doesn't actually implement Drop, but because String contains a
/// Vec, assuming it can be trivially dropped will leak memory.
///
/// **Known problems:** None.
///
/// **Example:**
/// ```rust
/// fn foo<T: Drop>() {}
/// ```
