replace_consts lint wrt. stabilized assoc_int_consts feature #5269Description
rust-lang/rust#68952 stabilized the assoc_int_consts feature for Rust 1.34. For Clippy this is relevant for at least the replace_consts lint:
As far as I can tell, that lint was meant to suggest to use the associated methods on the integer primitives, instead of the constants that have now been soft-deprecated in rust-lang/rust#68952. Although, the lint doesn't really provide a reason why one is better over the other. (Please correct me if I misunderstood that lint)
The RFC also mentions a deprecation of the associated functions the lint is currently suggesting, so we might want to deprecate replace_consts and have a different lint that suggests the associated constants instead of the associated methods 🔄
