/// ### What it does
/// Looks for macros that expand metavariables in an unsafe block.
///
/// ### Why is this bad?
/// This hides an unsafe block and allows the user of the macro to write unsafe code without an explicit
/// unsafe block at callsite, making it possible to perform unsafe operations in seemingly safe code.
///
/// The macro should be restructured so that these metavariables are referenced outside of unsafe blocks
/// and that the usual unsafety checks apply to the macro argument.
///
/// This is usually done by binding it to a variable outside of the unsafe block
/// and then using that variable inside of the block as shown in the example, or by referencing it a second time
/// in a safe context, e.g. `if false { $expr }`.
///
/// ### Known limitations
/// Due to how macros are represented in the compiler at the time Clippy runs its lints,
/// it's not possible to look for metavariables in macro definitions directly.
///
/// Instead, this lint looks at expansions of macros.
/// This leads to false negatives for macros that are never actually invoked.
///
/// By default, this lint is rather conservative and will only emit warnings on publicly-exported
/// macros from the same crate, because oftentimes private internal macros are one-off macros where
/// this lint would just be noise (e.g. macros that generate `impl` blocks).
/// The default behavior should help with preventing a high number of such false positives,
/// however it can be configured to also emit warnings in private macros if desired.
///
/// ### Example
/// ```no_run
/// /// Gets the first element of a slice
/// macro_rules! first {
/// ($slice:expr) => {
/// unsafe {
/// let slice = $slice; // ⚠️ expansion inside of `unsafe {}`
///
/// assert!(!slice.is_empty());
/// // SAFETY: slice is checked to have at least one element
/// slice.first().unwrap_unchecked()
/// }
/// }
/// }
///
/// assert_eq!(*first!(&[1i32]), 1);
///
/// // This will compile as a consequence (note the lack of `unsafe {}`)
/// assert_eq!(*first!(std::hint::unreachable_unchecked() as &[i32]), 1);
/// ```
/// Use instead:
/// ```compile_fail
/// macro_rules! first {
/// ($slice:expr) => {{
/// let slice = $slice; // ✅ outside of `unsafe {}`
/// unsafe {
/// assert!(!slice.is_empty());
/// // SAFETY: slice is checked to have at least one element
/// slice.first().unwrap_unchecked()
/// }
/// }}
/// }
///
/// assert_eq!(*first!(&[1]), 1);
///
/// // This won't compile:
/// assert_eq!(*first!(std::hint::unreachable_unchecked() as &[i32]), 1);
/// ```
