Expand description

Some lints that are built in to the compiler.

These are the built-in lints that are emitted direct in the main compiler code, rather than using their own custom pass. Those lints are all available in rustc_lint::builtin.

When removing a lint, make sure to also add a call to register_removed in compiler/rustc_lint/src/lib.rs.

Structs§
