## Usage
+Since this is a tool for helping the developer of a library or application
+write better code, it is recommended to include clippy as an optional
+dependency.
+
As a general rule clippy will only work with the *latest* Rust nightly for now.
+### Optional dependency
+
+If you want to make clippy an optional dependency, you can do the following:
+
+In your `Cargo.toml`:
+
+```toml
+[dependencies]
+clippy = {version = "*", optional = true}
+
+[features]
+default = []
+```
+
+And, in your `main.rs` or `lib.rs`:
+
+```rust
+#![cfg_attr(feature="clippy", feature(plugin))]
+
+#![cfg_attr(feature="clippy", plugin(clippy))]
+```
+
+Then build by enabling the feature: `cargo build --features "clippy"`
+
+Instead of adding the `cfg_attr` attributes you can also run clippy on demand:
+`cargo rustc --features clippy -- -Z no-trans -Z extra-plugins=clippy`
+(the `-Z no trans`, while not neccessary, will stop the compilation process after
+typechecking (and lints) have completed, which can significantly reduce the runtime).
+
### As a Compiler Plugin
Since stable Rust is backwards compatible, you should be able to
*[Note](https://github.com/Manishearth/rust-clippy/wiki#a-word-of-warning):*
Be sure that clippy was compiled with the same version of rustc that cargo invokes here!
