    /// ### What it does
    /// This lint catches reads into a zero-length `Vec`.
    /// Especially in the case of a call to `with_capacity`, this lint warns that read
    /// gets the number of bytes from the `Vec`'s length, not its capacity.
    ///
    /// ### Why is this bad?
    /// Reading zero bytes is almost certainly not the intended behavior.
    ///
    /// ### Known problems
    /// In theory, a very unusual read implementation could assign some semantic meaning
    /// to zero-byte reads. But it seems exceptionally unlikely that code intending to do
    /// a zero-byte read would allocate a `Vec` for it.
    ///
    /// ### Example
    /// ```no_run
    /// use std::io;
    /// fn foo<F: io::Read>(mut f: F) {
    ///     let mut data = Vec::with_capacity(100);
    ///     f.read(&mut data).unwrap();
    /// }
    /// ```
    /// Use instead:
    /// ```no_run
    /// use std::io;
    /// fn foo<F: io::Read>(mut f: F) {
    ///     let mut data = Vec::with_capacity(100);
    ///     data.resize(100, 0);
    ///     f.read(&mut data).unwrap();
    /// }
    /// ```
