    description: "A struct is no longer repr(transparent).",
    reference: Some(r#"
repr(transparent) was removed from a struct. This can cause its memory layout to change,
breaking FFI use cases.

repr(transparent) is only sometimes part of the ABI. Per the Rustonomicon:
> This can only be used on structs with a single non-zero-sized field
> (there may be additional zero-sized fields). [...]
> This repr is only considered part of the public ABI of a type if either the single field is pub,
> or if its layout is documented in prose. Otherwise, the layout should not be relied upon
> by other crates.

cargo-semver-checks currently can't check whether a field is zero-sized or not,
and it can't check whether the layout is documented in prose.

However, the most commonly-used kind of zero-sized field is core::marker::PhantomData,
and we can hardcode its detection and proper handling.

To avoid false-positives, this query is restricted to checking only structs that in the baseline:
- are repr(transparent);
- have exactly one field that isn't PhantomData, and
- that one field is public.
