## lintcheck
`cargo lintcheck` will build and run clippy on a fixed set of crates and generate a log of the results. You can `git diff` the updated log against its previous version and see what impact your lint made on a small set of crates.
If you add a new lint, please audit the resulting warnings and make sure there are no false positives and that the suggestions are valid.
Refer to the tools [README] for more details.
[README]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/blob/master/lintcheck/README.md
