+Check whether beginnings of files match a license template.

+- **Stable**: No
+
+A license template is a plain text file which is matched literally against the
+beginning of each source file, except for `{}`-delimited blocks, which are
+matched as regular expressions. The following license template therefore
+matches strings like `// Copyright 2017 The Rust Project Developers.`, `//
+Copyright 2018 The Rust Project Developers.`, etc.:
+
+```
+// Copyright {\d+} The Rust Project Developers.
+```
+
+`\{`, `\}` and `\\` match literal braces / backslashes.
