-### What it does
-Checks for usage of `.clone()` on a ref-counted pointer,
-(`Rc`, `Arc`, `rc::Weak`, or `sync::Weak`), and suggests calling Clone via unified
-function syntax instead (e.g., `Rc::clone(foo)`).
-
-### Why is this bad?
-Calling '.clone()' on an Rc, Arc, or Weak
-can obscure the fact that only the pointer is being cloned, not the underlying
-data.
-
-### Example
-```
-let x = Rc::new(1);
-
-x.clone();
-```
-
-Use instead:
-```
-Rc::clone(&x);
-```
