Description

Found the following code in the wild

 let w: Vec<String> = vec_of_string
        .clone()
        .into_iter()
        .filter(|s| s.len() < 10)
        .collect();

Not sure what other things should be linted, but at least filter and filter_map after a clone+into_iter

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start from the Rust example and determine the intended lint coverage for clone followed by into_iter and filter or filter_map; done means the relevant cases are linted with the suggested iter and cloned form, with tests demonstrating the behavior.
