False-positive in redundant_pattern lint.

[ghost]

The nightly slice_patterns feature (see https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/unstable-book/language-features/slice-patterns.html) introduces the syntax .. which matches any leftover elements in the slice, versus the _ for a single item in stable Rust.

Clippy's redundant_pattern lint checks for variable @ _ and correctly recommends it be changed to plain variable. However, there is (currently) no shorter syntax for variable @ .. in patterns, and the recommendation to change it to variable is incorrect and changes the meaning. There is also a cosmetic error in that it gives the binding as _ rather than ...

I am using the latest nightly clippy ("clippy 0.0.212 (cd3df6b 2019-08-20)") and this is one example of the cascade of warnings it gives when choking on my parser library:

warning: the `stream @ _` pattern can be written as just `stream`
   --> src/bencode.rs:321:20
    |
321 |             [b'l', stream @ ..] => decode_list(stream).map(wrap),
    |                    ^^^^^^^^^^^
    |

(In case it's not obvious, this is within a match { ... } block.)

The desired behaviour is for Clippy is to not treat .. as equivalent to _ in patterns, because it isn't. Perhaps it was at some point in the evolution of this feature, but it isn't now.
