### What it does
Checks for calls to `std::mem::forget` with a value that
derives the Copy trait
### Why is this bad?
Calling `std::mem::forget` [does nothing for types that
implement Copy](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/mem/fn.drop.html) since the
value will be copied and moved into the function on invocation.
An alternative, but also valid, explanation is that Copy types do not
implement
the Drop trait, which means they have no destructors. Without a destructor,
there
is nothing for `std::mem::forget` to ignore.
### Example
```
let x: i32 = 42; // i32 implements Copy
std::mem::forget(x) // A copy of x is passed to the function, leaving the
// original unaffected
```
