Description
What it does
Warns when you deny on lints e.g. #![deny(missing_docs)].
Advantage
- Prevents lint warnings blocking compilation errors. When producing a proof of concept you may want to only check for compilation errors.
Drawbacks
- Requires explictly checking for warnings e.g.
clippy -- --deny warnings.
Example
#![deny(missing_docs)]
Could be written as:
#![warn(missing_docs)]
Contributor guide
First steps

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. First locate the existing lint implementations and test fixtures for attribute-based lint levels, then determine where a new deny_lints check belongs. Done should mean the example is reported while the equivalent warn attribute is accepted, with coverage for the described behavior.
