/// **What it does:** Checks for useless borrowed references.
///
/// **Why is this bad?** It is mostly useless and make the code look more
/// complex than it
/// actually is.
///
/// **Known problems:** It seems that the `&ref` pattern is sometimes useful.
/// For instance in the following snippet:
/// ```rust,ignore
/// enum Animal {
/// Cat(u64),
/// Dog(u64),
/// }
///
/// fn foo(a: &Animal, b: &Animal) {
/// match (a, b) {
/// (&Animal::Cat(v), k) | (k, &Animal::Cat(v)) => (), // lifetime mismatch error
/// (&Animal::Dog(ref c), &Animal::Dog(_)) => ()
/// }
/// }
/// ```
/// There is a lifetime mismatch error for `k` (indeed a and b have distinct
/// lifetime).
/// This can be fixed by using the `&ref` pattern.
/// However, the code can also be fixed by much cleaner ways
///
/// **Example:**
/// ```rust
/// let mut v = Vec::<String>::new();
/// let _ = v.iter_mut().filter(|&ref a| a.is_empty());
/// ```
/// This closure takes a reference on something that has been matched as a
/// reference and
/// de-referenced.
/// As such, it could just be |a| a.is_empty()
