 * `clippy_style` (code that should be written in a more idiomatic way)
 * `clippy_complexity` (code that does something simple but in a complex way)
 * `clippy_perf` (code that can be written in a faster way)
+* `clippy_cargo` (checks against the cargo manifest)
 * **`clippy_correctness`** (code that is just outright wrong or very very useless)

+//! lint on multiple versions of a crate being used

+use rustc::lint::*;
+use syntax::ast::*;
+
+use cargo_metadata;
+use itertools::Itertools;
+
+/// **What it does:** Checks to see if multiple versions of a crate are being
+/// used.
+///
+/// **Why is this bad?** This bloats the size of targets, and can lead to
+/// confusing error messages when structs or traits are used interchangeably
+/// between different versions of a crate.
+///
+/// **Known problems:** Because this can be caused purely by the dependencies
+/// themselves, it's not always possible to fix this issue.
+///
+/// **Example:**
+/// ```toml
+/// # This will pull in both winapi v0.3.4 and v0.2.8, triggering a warning.
+/// [dependencies]
+/// ctrlc = "3.1.0"
+/// ansi_term = "0.11.0"
+/// ```
