+/// **What it does:** This lint checks for expressions where an unsigned integer is tested to be non-positive and suggests testing for equality with zero instead.
+///
+/// **Why is this bad?** `x <= 0` may mislead the reader into thinking `x` can be negative. `x == 0` makes explicit that zero is the only possibility.
+///
+/// **Known problems:** None
+///
+/// **Example:** `vec.len() <= 0`
