+### What it does
+Checks for iteration that may be infinite.
+
+### Why is this bad?
+While there may be places where this is acceptable
+(e.g., in event streams), in most cases this is simply an error.
+
+### Known problems
+The code may have a condition to stop iteration, but
+this lint is not clever enough to analyze it.
+
+### Example
+```
+let infinite_iter = 0..;
+[0..].iter().zip(infinite_iter.take_while(|x| *x > 5));
+```
