-/// **What it does:** Checks for useless borrowed references.

-/// **Why is this bad?** It is completely useless and make the code look more complex than it
-/// actually is.
-///
-/// **Known problems:** None.
-///
-/// **Example:**
-/// ```rust
-/// let mut v = Vec::<String>::new();
-/// let _ = v.iter_mut().filter(|&ref a| a.is_empty());
-/// ```
-/// This clojure takes a reference on something that has been matched as a reference and
-/// de-referenced.
-/// As such, it could just be |a| a.is_empty()

+ /// **Known problems:** It seems that the `&ref` pattern is sometimes useful.

+ /// ```rust,ignore
+ /// enum Animal {
+ /// Cat(u64),
+ /// Dog(u64),
+ /// }
+ ///
+ /// fn foo(a: &Animal, b: &Animal) {

+ /// (&Animal::Cat(v), k) | (k, &Animal::Cat(v)) => (), // lifetime mismatch error
+ /// (&Animal::Dog(ref c), &Animal::Dog(_)) => ()
+ /// }
+ /// }
+ /// ```
+ /// There is a lifetime mismatch error for `k` (indeed a and b have distinct
+ /// lifetime).
+ /// This can be fixed by using the `&ref` pattern.
+ /// However, the code can also be fixed by much cleaner ways
+ ///
+ /// **Example:**
+ /// ```rust
+ /// let mut v = Vec::<String>::new();
+ /// let _ = v.iter_mut().filter(|&ref a| a.is_empty());
+ /// ```
+ /// This closure takes a reference on something that has been matched as a
