+### What it does
+Checks for imports ending in `::{self}`.
+
+### Why is this bad?
+In most cases, this can be written much more cleanly by omitting `::{self}`.
+
+### Known problems
+Removing `::{self}` will cause any non-module items at the same path to also be imported.
+This might cause a naming conflict (https://github.com/rust-lang/rustfmt/issues/3568). This lint makes no attempt
+to detect this scenario and that is why it is a restriction lint.
+
+### Example
+```
+use std::io::{self};
+```
+Use instead:
+```
+use std::io;
+```
+\ No newline at end of file
