+//! Lint on unnecessary double comparisons. Some examples:
+
+use rustc::hir::*;
+use rustc::lint::*;
+use syntax::codemap::Span;
+
+use utils::{snippet, span_lint_and_sugg, SpanlessEq};
+
+/// **What it does:** Checks for double comparions that could be simpified to a single expression.
+///
+///
+/// **Why is this bad?** Readability.
+///
+/// **Known problems:** None.
+///
+/// **Example:**
+/// ```rust
+/// x == y || x < y
+/// ```
+///
+/// Could be written as:
+///
+/// ```rust
+/// x <= y
+/// ```
