+/// **What it does:** Checks for types that implement `Copy` as well as
+/// `Iterator`.
+///
+/// **Why is this bad?** Implicit copies can be confusing when working with
+/// iterator combinators.
+///
+/// **Known problems:** None.
+///
+/// **Example:**
+/// ```rust
+/// #[derive(Copy, Clone)]
+/// struct Countdown(u8);
+///
+/// impl Iterator for Countdown {
+///     // ...
+/// }
+///
+/// let a: Vec<_> = my_iterator.take(1).collect();
+/// let b: Vec<_> = my_iterator.collect();
+/// ```
