+    /// Checks for mutable reference on a freshly copied data due to
+    /// the use of a block to return an value implementing `Copy`.
+    ///
+    /// ### Why is this bad?
+    /// Using a block will make a copy of the block result if its type
+    /// implements `Copy`. This might be an indication of a failed attempt
+    /// to borrow the original data instead.
+    ///
+    /// ### Example
+    /// ```no_run
+    /// # fn f(_: &mut [i32]) {}
+    /// let arr = &mut [10, 20, 30];
+    /// f(&mut { *arr });
+    /// ```

+    /// let arr = &mut [10, 20, 30];
