    /// ### What it does
    /// Checks for usage of `.repeat(1)` and suggest the following method for each types.
    /// - `.to_string()` for `str`
    /// - `.clone()` for `String`
    /// - `.to_vec()` for `slice`
    ///
    /// The lint will evaluate constant expressions and values as arguments of `.repeat(..)` and emit a message if
    /// they are equivalent to `1`. (Related discussion in [rust-clippy#7306](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/7306))
    ///
    /// ### Why is this bad?
    /// For example, `String.repeat(1)` is equivalent to `.clone()`. If cloning
    /// the string is the intention behind this, `clone()` should be used.
    ///
    /// ### Example
    /// ```rust
    /// fn main() {
    ///     let x = String::from("hello world").repeat(1);
    /// }
    /// ```
    /// Use instead:
    /// ```rust
    /// fn main() {
    ///     let x = String::from("hello world").clone();
    /// }
    /// ```
