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
Research how Clippy lints are structured, specifically the counting of items in a file. Look into existing lints that operate on file size or item count. Consider using the AST to count top level items.
