    ///
    /// **Why is this bad?** `fs::{read, read_to_string}` provide the same functionality when `buf` is empty with fewer imports and no intermediate values.
    /// See also: [fs::read docs](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/fs/fn.read.html), [fs::read_to_string docs](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/fs/fn.read_to_string.html)
    ///
    /// **Known problems:** None.
    ///
    /// **Example:**
    ///
    /// ```rust,no_run
    /// # use std::io::Read;
    /// # use std::fs::File;
    /// let mut f = File::open("foo.txt").unwrap();
    /// let mut bytes = Vec::new();
    /// f.read_to_end(&mut bytes).unwrap();
    /// ```
    /// Can be written more concisely as
    /// ```rust,no_run
    /// # use std::fs;
    /// let mut bytes = fs::read("foo.txt").unwrap();
    /// ```
