+    /// ### What it does
+    /// Detect when a variable is not inlined in a format string,
+    /// and suggests to inline it.
+    ///
+    /// ### Why is this bad?
+    /// Non-inlined code is slightly more difficult to read and understand,
+    /// as it requires arguments to be matched against the format string.
+    /// The inlined syntax, where allowed, is simpler.
+    ///
+    /// ### Example
+    /// ```rust
+    /// # let var = 42;
+    /// # let width = 1;
+    /// # let prec = 2;
+    /// format!("{}", var);
+    /// format!("{v:?}", v = var);
+    /// format!("{0} {0}", var);
+    /// format!("{0:1$}", var, width);
+    /// format!("{:.*}", prec, var);
+    /// ```
+    /// Use instead:
+    /// ```rust
+    /// # let var = 42;
+    /// # let width = 1;
+    /// # let prec = 2;
+    /// format!("{var}");
+    /// format!("{var:?}");
+    /// format!("{var} {var}");
+    /// format!("{var:width$}");
+    /// format!("{var:.prec$}");
+    /// ```
+    ///
+    /// ### Known Problems
+    ///
+    /// There may be a false positive if the format string is expanded from certain proc macros:
+    ///
+    /// ```ignore
+    /// println!(indoc!("{}"), var);
+    /// ```
+    ///
+    /// If a format string contains a numbered argument that cannot be inlined
+    /// nothing will be suggested, e.g. `println!("{0}={1}", var, 1+2)`.
