/// ### What it does
/// Detects cases where the result of a `format!` call is
/// appended to an existing `String`.
///
/// ### Why is this bad?
/// Introduces an extra, avoidable heap allocation.
///
/// ### Known problems
/// `format!` returns a `String` but `write!` returns a `Result`.
/// Thus you are forced to ignore the `Err` variant to achieve the same API.
///
/// While using `write!` in the suggested way should never fail, this isn't necessarily clear to the programmer.
///
/// ### Example
/// ```rust
/// let mut s = String::new();
/// s += &format!("0x{:X}", 1024);
/// s.push_str(&format!("0x{:X}", 1024));
/// ```
/// Use instead:
/// ```rust
/// use std::fmt::Write as _; // import without risk of name clashing
///
/// let mut s = String::new();
/// let _ = write!(s, "0x{:X}", 1024);
/// ```
