While OK my suggestion would be to add a $fix option
and be case insensitive

		if ($realfile =~ /\.rs$/ &&
		    $rawline =~ /^\+\s*\/\/\/\s+#+\s+(Example|Invariant|Guarantee|Panic)\s*$/i) {
			if (WARN("RUST_DOC_HEADER",
	                       	 "Rust doc header '$1' should be plural\n" . $herecurr) &&
			    $fix) {
				$fixed[$fixlinenr] = s/\b$1\b/ucfirst(lc($1))/e;
			}

And if there are going to be more rust specific tests,
there should be a rust specific block to avoid continual
tests of $realfile =~ /\.rs$/
