Description
> It's been many years since I've been there.
The linter thinks I'm missing a preposition between "been" and "many".
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the MissingPreposition warning for “It's been many years since I've been there.” Then trace the MissingPreposition rule and identify why “been many” is treated as missing a preposition. Done means this sentence no longer produces a false positive, with regression coverage for the example.
