+### What it does
+Checks for tuple patterns with a wildcard
+pattern (`_`) is next to a rest pattern (`..`).
+
+_NOTE_: While `_, ..` means there is at least one element left, `..`
+means there are 0 or more elements left. This can make a difference
+when refactoring, but shouldn't result in errors in the refactored code,
+since the wildcard pattern isn't used anyway.
+
+### Why is this bad?
+The wildcard pattern is unneeded as the rest pattern
+can match that element as well.
+
+### Example
+```
+match t {
+    TupleStruct(0, .., _) => (),
+    _ => (),
+}
+```
+
+Use instead:
+```
+match t {
+    TupleStruct(0, ..) => (),
+    _ => (),
+}
+```
