As an example of what this changes, the following code:
let x: [int ..4];
Currently spits out ‘expected `]`, found `..`’. However, a comma would also be
valid there, as would a number of other tokens. This change adjusts the parser
to produce more accurate errors, so that that example now produces ‘expected one
of `(`, `+`, `,`, `::`, or `]`, found `..`’.
instead of prefix `..`.
This breaks code that looked like:
match foo {
[ first, ..middle, last ] => { ... }
}
Change this code to:
match foo {
[ first, middle.., last ] => { ... }
}
