/// **What it does:** Checks for address of operations (`&`) that are going to
/// be dereferenced immediately by the compiler.
///
/// **Why is this bad?** Suggests that the receiver of the expression borrows
/// the expression.
///
/// **Known problems:** None.
///
/// **Example:**
/// ```rust
/// let x: &i32 = &&&&&&5;
/// ```
