/// **What it does:** Checks for needlessly including a base struct on update
/// when all fields are changed anyway.
///
/// **Why is this bad?** This will cost resources (because the base has to be
/// somewhere), and make the code less readable.
///
/// **Known problems:** None.
///
/// **Example:**
/// ```rust
/// Point { x: 1, y: 0, ..zero_point }
/// ```
