### What it does
Checks for the usage of `_.to_owned()`, `vec.to_vec()`, or similar when calling `_.clone()` would be clearer.

### Why is this bad?
These methods do the same thing as `_.clone()` but may be confusing as
to why we are calling `to_vec` on something that is already a `Vec` or calling `to_owned` on something that is already owned.

### Example
```
let a = vec![1, 2, 3];
let b = a.to_vec();
let c = a.to_owned();
```
Use instead:
```
let a = vec![1, 2, 3];
let b = a.clone();
let c = a.clone();
```
