This breaks code that uses the `..xs` form anywhere but at the end of a
slice. For example:
match foo {
[ 1, ..xs, 2 ]
[ ..xs, 1, 2 ]
}
Add the `#![feature(advanced_slice_patterns)]` gate to reenable the
syntax.
RFC #54.
Closes#16951.
[breaking-change]
Slice patterns are different from the rest in that a single slice pattern
does not have a distinct constructor if it contains a variable-length subslice
pattern. For example, the pattern [a, b, ..tail] can match a slice of length 2, 3, 4
and so on.
As a result, the decision tree for exhaustiveness and redundancy analysis should
explore each of those constructors separately to determine if the pattern could be useful
when specialized for any of them.
