+### What it does
+Checks for slicing expressions which are equivalent to dereferencing the
+value.
+
+### Why is this bad?
+Some people may prefer to dereference rather than slice.
+
+### Example
+```
+let vec = vec![1, 2, 3];
+let slice = &vec[..];
+```
+Use instead:
+```
+let vec = vec![1, 2, 3];
+let slice = &*vec;
+```
