Description

During the current rustup I noticed several inconsistencies in our lints. I think the following would be good defaults that make working with these lints easier due to a consistent style

  • if a type contains a &LateContext or &EarlyContext require the struct to not be a tuple struct and the field named cx
  • All Visitors' lifetime must be called 'tcx

Research direction

Start by locating the existing clippy-internal lints and their tests, then compare how context-containing types and Visitor lifetimes are currently represented. Done means the two proposed naming and struct-shape conventions are consistently enforced, with tests covering the resulting diagnostics.
