+/// ## What it does
+/// Checks for bindings of the form `a = a`.
+///
+/// ## Why is this bad?
+/// If the aim is to bring attributes from a larger scope into
+/// the current scope, prefer an inherit statement.
+///
+/// ## Example
+///
+/// ```
+/// let
+///   a = 2;
+/// in
+///   { a = a; b = 3; }
+/// ```
+///
+/// Try `inherit` instead:
+///
+/// ```
+/// let
+///   a = 2;
+/// in
+///   { inherit a; b = 3; }
+/// ```
