+### 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.
+
+### Example
+```
+fn fun(_a: &i32) {}
+
+let x: &i32 = &&&&&&5;
+fun(&x);
+```
+
+Use instead:
+```
+let x: &i32 = &5;
+fun(x);
+```
