+readability-redundant-typename
+==============================
+
+Finds redundant uses of the ``typename`` keyword.
+
+``typename`` is redundant in two cases. First, before non-dependent names:
+
+.. code-block:: c++
+
+  /* typename */ std::vector<int>::size_type size;
+
+And second, since C++20, before dependent names that appear in a context
+where only a type is allowed (the following example shows just a few of them):
+
+.. code-block:: c++
+
+  template <typename T>
+  using trait = /* typename */ T::type;
+
+  template <typename T>
+  struct S {
+    /* typename */ T::type variable;
+    /* typename */ T::type function(/* typename */ T::type);
+  };
