    /// ### What it does
    /// Checks for `else` blocks that can be removed without changing semantics.
    ///
    /// ### Why is this bad?
    /// The `else` block adds unnecessary indentation and verbosity.
    ///
    /// ### Known problems
    /// Some may prefer to keep the `else` block for clarity.
    ///
    /// ### Example
    /// ```no_run
    /// fn my_func(count: u32) {
    ///     if count == 0 {
    ///         print!("Nothing to do");
    ///         return;
    ///     } else {
    ///         print!("Moving on...");
    ///     }
    /// }
    /// ```
    /// Use instead:
    /// ```no_run
    /// fn my_func(count: u32) {
    ///     if count == 0 {
    ///         print!("Nothing to do");
    ///         return;
    ///     }
    ///     print!("Moving on...");
    /// }
