    /// ### What it does
    /// Checks for items declared `pub(crate)` that are not crate visible because they
    /// are inside a private module.
    ///
    /// ### Why is this bad?
    /// Writing `pub(crate)` is misleading when it's redundant due to the parent
    /// module's visibility.
    ///
    /// ### Example
    /// ```rust
    /// mod internal {
    ///     pub(crate) fn internal_fn() { }
    /// }
    /// ```
    /// This function is not visible outside the module and it can be declared with `pub` or
    /// private visibility
    /// ```rust
    /// mod internal {
    ///     pub fn internal_fn() { }
    /// }
    /// ```
