    /// ### What it does
    /// Checks for functions that are declared `async` but have no `.await`s inside of them.
    ///
    /// ### Why is this bad?
    /// Async functions with no async code create overhead, both mentally and computationally.
    /// Callers of async methods either need to be calling from an async function themselves or run it on an executor, both of which
    /// causes runtime overhead and hassle for the caller.
    ///
    /// ### Example
    /// ```no_run
    /// async fn get_random_number() -> i64 {
    ///     4 // Chosen by fair dice roll. Guaranteed to be random.
    /// }
    /// let number_future = get_random_number();
    /// ```
    ///
    /// Use instead:
    /// ```no_run
    /// fn get_random_number_improved() -> i64 {
    ///     4 // Chosen by fair dice roll. Guaranteed to be random.
    /// }
    /// let number_future = async { get_random_number_improved() };
    /// ```
