unnecessary_unwrap doesn't lint following a binding name

[amab8901]

Summary

warn if there's a missed opportunity to make the code more clean and avoid an unnecessary unwrap. Even if you're using unwraps as a temporary placeholder before adding a full option handling later, you can't use this as an excuse to write your code the way that the propsed lint warns against because the concision level is superior with the approach I expected

Lint Name

unnecessary_unwrap

Reproducer

I tried this code:

   if option.is_some() {
                let content = option.unwrap();

                do_something(content);
            }

I expected to see this happen:

give warning that suggests rewriting to this;

   if let Some(content) = option {
                do_something(content);
            }

Instead, this happened:

silence

This already exists as unnecessary_unwrap.

Seems like doesn't fire if it's part of or comes after a binding name

pub fn f(o: Option<String>) {
    if o.is_some() {
        let x = o.unwrap();
    }
}

pub fn f(o: Option<String>) {
    if o.is_some() {
        let y = 1;
        o.unwrap();
    }
}
