`needless_return` has false negative pattern

[kyoto7250]

Summary

There is a pattern that does not work even though needless_return is enabled.

playground is here.

Lint Name

needless_return

Reproducer

I tried this code:

#![warn(clippy::needless_return)]
const WORDS: [&[&str]; 2] = [&["foo"], &["bar"]];

fn main() {
    println!("{:?}", issue());
}

fn issue() -> bool {
    return WORDS.iter().any(|&word| word == ["foo"]);
}

I expected to see this happen: There should be a suggestion as above follows.

fn issue() -> bool {
    WORDS.iter().any(|&word| word == ["foo"])
}

Instead, this happened: No happen.

Version

rustc 1.61 (stable)

A bit more simplified reproducer:

#![warn(clippy::needless_return)]
fn main() {
    println!("{:?}", issue());
}

fn issue() -> bool {
    return [].iter().any(|_: &i32| false);
}
