//! lint when there is a large size difference between variants on an enum

/// **What it does:** Checks for large size differences between variants on
/// `enum`s.
///
/// **Why is this bad?** Enum size is bounded by the largest variant. Having a
/// large variant
/// can penalize the memory layout of that enum.
///
/// **Known problems:** None.
///
/// **Example:**
/// ```rust
/// enum Test {
///    A(i32),
///    B([i32; 8000]),
/// }
/// ```
