    /// ### What it does
    /// Use `std::ptr::eq` when applicable
    ///
    /// ### Why is this bad?
    /// `ptr::eq` can be used to compare `&T` references
    /// (which coerce to `*const T` implicitly) by their address rather than
    /// comparing the values they point to.
    ///
    /// ### Example
    /// ```rust
    /// let a = &[1, 2, 3];
    /// let b = &[1, 2, 3];
    ///
    /// assert!(a as *const _ as usize == b as *const _ as usize);
    /// ```
    /// Use instead:
    /// ```rust
    /// let a = &[1, 2, 3];
    /// let b = &[1, 2, 3];
    ///
    /// assert!(std::ptr::eq(a, b));
    /// ```
