manual_string_new
is a rule that standardizes how empty strings are created, which is not only a good style option (with no known false-positives in the docs), but also helps prevent against zero-width characters being submitted internally.
The Pull Request (#9366) that moved this to pedantic referred to it as:
- a fairly minor style change
- could be very noisy
However, not only are many existing non-pedantic style lints noisy (as they can appear a lot), but this one is also idiomatic and uses an in-built method to create an empty string.
