/// Usually it's nicer to provide more context for lint messages.
/// Be sure the output is understandable when you use this method.

/// NOTE: Lint emissions are always bound to a node in the HIR, which is used to determine

/// For the `span_lint` function, the node that was passed into the `LintPass::check_*` function is
/// used.
///
/// If you're emitting the lint at the span of a different node than the one provided by the
