/// **What it does:** Checks for literal calls to `Default::default()`.
///
/// **Why is this bad?** It's more clear to the reader to use the name of the type whose default is
/// being gotten than the generic `Default`.
///
/// **Known problems:** None.
///
/// **Example:**
/// ```rust
/// // Bad
/// let s: String = Default::default();
///
/// // Good
/// let s = String::default();
/// ```
