    /// clumsily written constant. Mostly this happens when someone accidentally
    /// adds semicolons at the end of the operands.
    ///

    /// ```no_run
    /// # fn foo() {};
    /// # fn bar() {};
    /// # fn baz() {};
    /// if {
    ///     foo();
    /// } == {
    ///     bar();
    /// } {
    ///     baz();
    /// }

    /// # fn foo() {};
    /// # fn bar() {};
    /// # fn baz() {};
    /// {
    ///     foo();
    ///     bar();
    ///     baz();
    /// }

    /// # fn bar() {};
