/// ### What it does
/// Checks for lifetimes with names which are one character
/// long.
///
/// ### Why is this bad?
/// A single character is likely not enough to express the
/// purpose of a lifetime. Using a longer name can make code
/// easier to understand, especially for those who are new to
/// Rust.
///
/// ### Known problems
/// Rust programmers and learning resources tend to use single
/// character lifetimes, so this lint is at odds with the
/// ecosystem at large. In addition, the lifetime's purpose may
/// be obvious or, rarely, expressible in one character.
///
/// ### Example
/// ```rust
/// struct DiagnosticCtx<'a> {
/// source: &'a str,
/// }
/// ```
/// Use instead:
/// ```rust
/// struct DiagnosticCtx<'src> {
/// source: &'src str,
/// }
/// ```
