    /// ### What it does
    /// Checks for usage of `panic!`, `unimplemented!`, `todo!`, `unreachable!` or assertions in a function of type result.
    ///
    /// ### Why is this bad?
    /// For some codebases, it is desirable for functions of type result to return an error instead of crashing. Hence panicking macros should be avoided.
    ///
    /// ### Known problems
    /// Functions called from a function returning a `Result` may invoke a panicking macro. This is not checked.
    ///
    /// ### Example
    /// ```rust
    /// fn result_with_panic() -> Result<bool, String>
    /// {
    ///     panic!("error");
    /// }
    /// ```
    /// Use instead:
    /// ```rust
    /// fn result_without_panic() -> Result<bool, String> {
    ///     Err(String::from("error"))
    /// }
    /// ```
