Actually, looking more closely, we already have this behavior in playgrounds
(and REPLs); it's only an error when you compile. Like, we literally do this:
// Found it. Flag it as error (or warning, if in playground mode) for the
// rest of the compiler pipeline and lex it as an identifier.
if (LangOpts.Playground) {
diagnose(TokStart, diag::lex_editor_placeholder_in_playground);
} else {
diagnose(TokStart, diag::lex_editor_placeholder);
}
Could we change the compile-time error into a warning? Would that require an
evolution proposal?
