    /// ### Why is this bad?

    /// the operands of these expressions are evaluated before applying the effects of the expression.

    /// ### Known problems
    /// Code which intentionally depends on the evaluation
    /// order, or which is correct for any evaluation order.
    ///
    /// ### Example
    /// ```rust
    /// let mut x = 0;
    ///
    /// let a = {
    ///     x = 1;
    ///     1
    /// } + x;

    /// let tmp = {
    ///     x = 1;
