    /// The `static_mut_refs` lint checks for shared or mutable references
    /// of mutable static inside `unsafe` blocks and `unsafe` functions.
    ///
    /// ### Example
    ///
    /// ```rust,edition2021
    /// fn main() {
    ///     static mut X: i32 = 23;
    ///     static mut Y: i32 = 24;
    ///
    ///     unsafe {
    ///         let y = &X;
    ///         let ref x = X;
    ///         let (x, y) = (&X, &Y);
    ///         foo(&X);
    ///     }
    /// }
    ///
    /// unsafe fn _foo() {
    ///     static mut X: i32 = 23;
    ///     static mut Y: i32 = 24;
    ///
    ///     let y = &X;
    ///     let ref x = X;
    ///     let (x, y) = (&X, &Y);
    ///     foo(&X);
    /// }
    ///
    /// fn foo<'a>(_x: &'a i32) {}
    /// ```
    ///
    /// {{produces}}
    ///
    /// ### Explanation
    ///
    /// Shared or mutable references of mutable static are almost always a mistake and
    /// can lead to undefined behavior and various other problems in your code.
    ///
    /// This lint is "warn" by default on editions up to 2021, in 2024 is "deny".
