Looks good with one nit. I'll fix and commit the patch.

Thank you!

Also, the name should use dashes, not underscores. I'll fix this as well.

+performance-implicit-cast-in-loop
+=================================
+
+This warning appears in range-based loop with loop variable of const ref type
+where the type of the variable does not match the one returned by the iterator.
+This means that an implicit cast has been added, which can for example result in
+expensive deep copies.
+
+Example:
+
+.. code:: c++
+
+   map<int, vector<string>> my_map;
+   for (const pair<int, vector<string>>& p : my_map) {}
+   // The iterator type is in fact pair<const int, vector<string>>, which means
+   // that the compiler added a cast, resulting in a copy of the vectors.
+
+The easiest solution is usually to use "const auto&" instead of writing the type
+manually.
