    /// Checks for identifiers which consist of a single character (or fewer than the configured threshold).
    ///
    /// Note: This lint can be very noisy when enabled; it may be desirable to only enable it
    /// temporarily.
    ///
    /// ### Why restrict this?
    /// To improve readability by requiring that every variable has a name more specific than a single letter can be.
    ///
    /// ### Example
    /// ```rust,ignore
    /// for m in movies {
    ///     let title = m.t;
    /// }
    /// ```
    /// Use instead:
    /// ```rust,ignore
    /// for movie in movies {
    ///     let title = movie.title;
    /// }
    /// ```
