Description

Lint name: upper_case_acronyms

I tried this code:

pub enum DIR {}

Checks for camel case name containing a capitalized acronym. but there is no camel-case here, it's literally all uppercase, not sure why this triggers here then....

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the lint logic for `upper case acronyms` in Clippy and modify it to ignore identifiers that are entirely uppercase, as the lint is intended for mixed case names containing acronyms.
