+### What it does
+Checks for float literals with a precision greater
+than that supported by the underlying type.
+
+### Why is this bad?
+Rust will truncate the literal silently.
+
+### Example
+```
+let v: f32 = 0.123_456_789_9;
+println!("{}", v); // 0.123_456_789
+```
+
+Use instead:
+```
+let v: f64 = 0.123_456_789_9;
+println!("{}", v); // 0.123_456_789_9
