    /// **What it does:** Checks for usage of the `offset` pointer method with a `usize` casted to an
    /// `isize`.
    ///
    /// **Why is this bad?** If we’re always increasing the pointer address, we can avoid the numeric
    /// cast by using the `add` method instead.
    ///
    /// **Known problems:** None
    ///
    /// **Example:**
    /// ```rust
    /// let vec = vec![b'a', b'b', b'c'];
    /// let ptr = vec.as_ptr();
    /// let offset = 1_usize;
    ///
    /// unsafe {
    ///     ptr.offset(offset as isize);
    /// }
    /// ```
    ///
    /// Could be written:
    ///
    /// ```rust
    /// let vec = vec![b'a', b'b', b'c'];
    /// let ptr = vec.as_ptr();
    /// let offset = 1_usize;
    ///
    /// unsafe {
    ///     ptr.add(offset);
    /// }
    /// ```
