/// The `noop_method_call` lint detects specific calls to noop methods
/// such as a calling `<&T as Clone>::clone` where `T: !Clone`.
///
/// ### Example
///
/// ```rust
/// # #![allow(unused)]
/// #![warn(noop_method_call)]
/// struct Foo;
/// let foo = &Foo;
/// let clone: &Foo = foo.clone();
/// ```
///
/// {{produces}}
///
/// ### Explanation
///
/// Some method calls are noops meaning that they do nothing. Usually such methods
/// are the result of blanket implementations that happen to create some method invocations
/// that end up not doing anything. For instance, `Clone` is implemented on all `&T`, but
/// calling `clone` on a `&T` where `T` does not implement clone, actually doesn't do anything
/// as references are copy. This lint detects these calls and warns the user about them.
