//! Policy warnings: valid policies that probably do not mean what they say.
//!
//! Errors (`Policy::lint`) make a policy unusable; warnings do not. Evaluation
//! is `deny → allow → ask` per atomic action, so a pattern in a later list that
//! an earlier list already matches can never decide anything. The checks are
//! conservative: a warning means the shadowing was shown from the patterns
//! alone; silence does not prove a rule is reachable.
