I had a look at #84210 and noticed that #85823 has effectively already fixed #84210.
However, the string matching in #85823 is very crude and already breaks down when a variable name starts with
mut
. I have made this a bit more robust; further improvements could definitely be made but are complicated by the lack of information provided by an earlier pass:rust/compiler/rustc_mir_build/src/build/matches/mod.rs
Lines 2103 to 2107 in ce331ee
I have also fixed a missing comma in the error message.
