Research direction
Start by reading the linked Rust API Guidelines section, “Types for a set of flags are bitflags, not enums,” and inspect rust-clippy’s existing lint entry points for a comparable implementation. Done means a Clippy lint identifies enum types being used as sets of flags and has coverage demonstrating the intended diagnostic.
