This PR introduces the
ignoredkeyword as an explicit placeholder for ignored bindings in pattern destructuring, behind the#[feature(explicit_ignored_bindings)]gate.The motivation is to improve semantic clarity and explicitly express the intent of ignoring a binding, similar to how
async fn,impl Trait, anddyn Traitenhance readability by making intent more explicit.For example,
let (a, ignored) = (1, 2);now explicitly states that the second element is intentionally ignored, behaving identically tolet (a, _) = (1, 2);.The
ignoredkeyword is implemented as a weak keyword and parses intoPatKind::Wild.
