3805: lower literal patterns r=JoshMcguigan a=JoshMcguigan While working on #3706 I discovered literal patterns weren't being lowered. This PR implements that lowering. Questions for reviewers: 1. This re-uses the existing conversion from `ast::LiteralKind` to `Literal`, but `ast::LiteralKind` doesn't include information about the actual value of the literal, which causes `Literal` to be created with the default value for the type (rather than the actual value in the source code). Am I correct in thinking that we'd eventually want to change things in such a way that we could initialize the `Literal` with the actual literal value? Is there an existing issue for this, or else perhaps I should create one to discuss how it should be implemented? My main question would be whether `ast::LiteralKind` should be extended to hold the actual value, or if we should provide some other way to get that information from `ast::Literal`? 2. I couldn't find tests which directly cover this, but it does seem to work in #3706. Do we have unit tests for this lowering code? 3. I'm not sure why `lit.literal()` returns an `Option`. Is returning a `Pat::Missing` in the `None` case the right thing to do? 4. I was basically practicing type-system driven development to figure out the transformation from `ast::Pat::LiteralPat` to `Pat::Lit`. I don't have an immediate question here, but I just wanted to ensure this section is looked at closely during review. Co-authored-by: Josh Mcguigan <joshmcg88@gmail.com>
