    ///
    /// ### Why is this bad?
    /// This method is also implicitly defined if a type implements the `Display` trait. As the functionality of `Display` is much more versatile, it should be preferred.
    ///
    /// ### Example
    /// ```rust
    /// pub struct A;
    ///
    /// impl A {
    ///     pub fn to_string(&self) -> String {
    ///         "I am A".to_string()
    ///     }
    /// }
    /// ```
    ///
    /// Use instead:
    /// ```rust
    /// use std::fmt;
    ///
    /// pub struct A;
    ///
    /// impl fmt::Display for A {
    ///     fn fmt(&self, f: &mut fmt::Formatter) -> fmt::Result {
    ///         write!(f, "I am A")
