Consider these expples
{ 92 }
async { 92 }
'a: { 92 }
#[a] { 92 }
Previously the tree for them were
BLOCK_EXPR
{ ... }
EFFECT_EXPR
async
BLOCK_EXPR
{ ... }
EFFECT_EXPR
'a:
BLOCK_EXPR
{ ... }
BLOCK_EXPR
#[a]
{ ... }
As you see, it gets progressively worse :) The last two items are
especially odd. The last one even violates the balanced curleys
invariant we have (#10357) The new approach is to say that the stuff in
`{}` is stmt_list, and the block is stmt_list + optional modifiers
BLOCK_EXPR
STMT_LIST
{ ... }
BLOCK_EXPR
async
STMT_LIST
{ ... }
BLOCK_EXPR
'a:
STMT_LIST
{ ... }
BLOCK_EXPR
#[a]
STMT_LIST
{ ... }
This also seizes the opportunity to move integer literal parsing to
the syntax crate, were it logically belongs.
Note though that this is still done in an ad hoc manner -- we probably
should split kitchen sink ast::Literal into a separate APIs for
strings, ints, etc
It's very useful when `pub` is equivalent to "this is crate's public
API", let's enforce this!
Ideally, we should enforce it for local `cargo test`, and only during
CI, but that needs https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/5034.
