+    /// with an `Err` type of `()`. It suggests using a custom type that
+    /// implements [`std::error::Error`].
+    ///
+    /// **Why is this bad?** Unit does not implement `Error` and carries no
+    /// further information about what went wrong.
+    ///
+    /// **Known problems:** Of course, this lint assumes that `Result` is used
+    /// for a fallible operation (which is after all the intended use). However
+    /// code may opt to (mis)use it as a basic two-variant-enum. In that case,
+    /// the suggestion is misguided, and the code should use a custom enum
+    /// instead.
+    ///
+    /// **Examples:**
+    /// ```rust
+    /// pub fn read_u8() -> Result<u8, ()> { Err(()) }
+    /// ```
