Yeah there is a raw r#ident identifier syntax, but no raw keyword k#kwd syntax.


Yeah rather than supporting backporting things like that they instead decided that every feature should have a lint that shows you how to update your edition.

Basically the idea was rather than making it as easy as possible to stay on the oldest version they focused that effort on making it as easy as possible to update once you decided that was what you wanted to do.


We do backport all kinds of things, and we also the vast majority of things land on all editions.

This one is tricky for a few reasons that don't apply to most things.


Fair sorry to paint too broad a stroke. Should have made the fact that I was implying "everything" there...

Especially after NLL landed on 2015 ><


It’s all good :)
