        <pre>Duplicate code is often an obvious coding bad practice that quickly creates
future bugs.  If you can detect it easily inside a code base that clang / xcode
supports, it would be very helpful.  

Duplicate code detection is unlikely to be supported well for apple only
languages such as objective-c, objective-c++ or swift, so it would be best for
the clang analyzer would implement it.

A few examples of current implementations for other languages are CPD, Sonar
Qube and Visual Studio:
