=========================
-Warns when `empty()` is used on a range and the result is ignored. Suggests
-`clear()` if it is an existing member function.
+Warns when ``empty()`` is used on a range and the result is ignored. Suggests
+``clear()`` if it is an existing member function.
The ``empty()`` method on several common ranges returns a Boolean indicating
whether or not the range is empty, but is often mistakenly interpreted as
std::vector<int> v;
...
v.clear();
+
+Limitations:
+- Doesn't warn if ``empty()`` is defined and used with the ignore result in the
+ class template definition (for example in the library implementation). These
+ error cases can be caught with ``[[nodiscard]]`` attribute.
