    /// the `Drop` trait implementation) on the underlying referenced value, which
    /// is likely what was intended.

    /// ### Example
    /// ```ignore
    /// let mut lock_guard = mutex.lock();
    /// std::mem::drop(&lock_guard) // Should have been drop(lock_guard), mutex
    /// // still locked
    /// operation_that_requires_mutex_to_be_unlocked();
