+    /// When `a` is `&[T]`, detect `a.len() * size_of::<T>()` and suggest `size_of_val(a)`
+    /// instead.
+    ///
+    /// ### Why is this better?
+    /// * Shorter to write
+    /// * Removes the need for the human and the compiler to worry about overflow in the
+    ///   multiplication
+    /// * Potentially faster at runtime as rust emits special no-wrapping flags when it
+    ///   calculates the byte length
+    /// * Less turbofishing
+    ///
+    /// ### Example
+    /// ```rust
+    /// let newlen = data.len() * mem::size_of::<i32>();
+    /// ```
+    /// Use instead:
+    /// ```rust
