cmp_owned provides a confusing suggestion #8103
Description
Description
Example:
let my_string = String::from("hello"); let eq = my_string == "hello".to_owned(); Why does clippy suggest changing "hello".to_owned() into *"hello" instead of "hello"?
This created confusion for beginners because dereferencing a string literal isn't something you normally do.
