+/// **What it does:** This lint checks for unused labels.
+///
+/// **Why is this bad?** Maybe the label should be used in which case there is an error in the
+/// code or it should be removed.
+///
+/// **Known problems:** Hopefully none.
+///
+/// **Example:**
+/// ```rust,ignore
+/// fn unused_label() {
+///     'label: for i in 1..2 {
+///         if i > 4 { continue }
+///     }
