    /// Checks for unit (`()`) expressions that can be removed.
    ///
    /// ### Why is this bad?
    /// Such expressions add no value, but can make the code
    /// less readable. Depending on formatting they can make a `break` or `return`
    /// statement look like a function call.
    ///
    /// ### Example
    /// ```rust
    /// fn return_unit() -> () {
    ///     ()
    /// }
    /// ```
    /// is equivalent to
    /// ```rust
    /// fn return_unit() {}
    /// ```
