+### What it does
+Checks for bindings that shadow other bindings already in
+scope, while just changing reference level or mutability.
+
+### Why is this bad?
+Not much, in fact it's a very common pattern in Rust
+code. Still, some may opt to avoid it in their code base, they can set this
+lint to `Warn`.
+
+### Example
+```
+let x = &x;
+```
+
+Use instead:
+```
+let y = &x; // use different variable name
+```
