Confusing error message when not having a variable name

[AZanellato]

I had a weird error message on the rust compiler when trying to compile something like this:

let Struct { name: "a".to_string() }

Here is a playground link that reproduces it better.

This gives out a weird expected ',' error, which wasn't at all what I was expecting. Certainly because of my sleepy state, but still weird.

Btw, the parser was expecting a comma because let doesn't just take identifiers, but patterns, which let's you write let Struct { name, ..} = struct_val;.

Would the following have been enough to help you?

error: expected `,`
  --> src/main.rs:10:13

 9 |     let Test {
   |         ---- while parsing this pattern
10 |       name: "a".to_owned()
   |             ^^^

I discovered this shortly thereafter! I think that would happen a ton. Maybe something along the lines of "Maybe you missed a name"?

But that would be awesome already 😄
