Please don't drop the emoji in the single quotes; that's a test in itself.

[oberien]

I added a different function which contains the emoji. It appears as though the github (and play.rust-lang.org) syntax highlighters don't highlight fn correctly if followed by a unicode identifier.

I also added a function returning itself such that it can be curried infinitely many times.

It appears as though the github (and play.rust-lang.org) syntax highlighters don't highlight fn correctly if followed by a unicode identifier.

Instead of changing the code due to inaccurate code highlighters, wouldn't it be better to file a bug against the highlighters?

[joshtriplett]

@the8472 Agreed. The purpose of these expressions is to invoke weird corner cases. Sounds like they found one, in syntax highlighters. That's all the more reason to keep those expressions; they might cause similar bugs in other things.

I would propose that we keep the expression as-is, and add a new weird expression that includes additional components (potentially copying from the existing one if there's an interesting interaction).

[oberien]

Oh yeah, I absolutely won't change the code. It is completely valid and working rust code. The syntax highlighting was just something I noticed while working on it. The whole file is just weird expressions to trigger exactly these kinds of problems that most likely won't be found in "normal" crates or projects.

I would propose that we keep the expression as-is, and add a new weird expression that includes additional components (potentially copying from the existing one if there's an interesting interaction).

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. The code in this PR should be finished from my side.

You're still removing the emoji here.
