/// **Known problems:** Maybe false positives: Sometimes, the two branches are
/// painstakingly documented (which we of course do not detect), so they *may*
/// have some value. Even then, the documentation can be rewritten to match the
/// shorter code.

/// **Example:**
/// ```rust
/// if x { false } else { true }
