+### What it does
+Warns when constructors have the same name as their types.
+
+### Why is this bad?
+Repeating the name of the type is redundant.
+
+### Example
+```
+struct Foo {}
+
+impl Foo {
+    pub fn foo() -> Foo {
+        Foo {}
+    }
+}
+```
+Use instead:
+```
+struct Foo {}
+
+impl Foo {
+    pub fn new() -> Foo {
+        Foo {}
+    }
+}
+```
