    /// Checks for a redundant `clone()` (and its relatives) which clones an owned
    /// value that is going to be dropped without further use.
    ///
    /// ### Why is this bad?
    /// It is not always possible for the compiler to eliminate useless
    /// allocations and deallocations generated by redundant `clone()`s.
    ///
    /// ### Known problems
    /// False-negatives: analysis performed by this lint is conservative and limited.
    ///
    /// ### Example
    /// ```rust
    /// # use std::path::Path;
    /// # #[derive(Clone)]
    /// # struct Foo;
    /// # impl Foo {
    /// #     fn new() -> Self { Foo {} }
    /// # }
    /// # fn call(x: Foo) {}
    /// {
    ///     let x = Foo::new();
    ///     call(x.clone());
    ///     call(x.clone()); // this can just pass `x`
    /// }
    ///
    /// ["lorem", "ipsum"].join(" ").to_string();
    ///
    /// Path::new("/a/b").join("c").to_path_buf();
