Description
Basically a lint that pushes people to factor their code into multiple files. I have no idea exactly how this would be computed, but it'd be nice to have in some form.

Research direction
The issue does not name any files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing existing rust-clippy lint implementations and their tests to determine how file-level item counts are represented and configured. Done should include an agreed computation and a tested lint behavior, but the issue does not define those details.
