+//! Previously we would try to issue a suggestion for `let x <op>= 1`, i.e. a compound assignment
+//! within a `let` binding, to remove the `<op>`. The suggestion code unfortunately incorrectly
+//! assumed that the `<op>` is an exactly-1-byte ASCII character, but this assumption is incorrect
+//! because we also recover Unicode-confusables like `➖=` as `-=`. In this example, the suggestion
+//! code used a `+ BytePos(1)` to calculate the span of the `<op>` codepoint that looks like `-` but
+//! the mult-byte Unicode look-alike would cause the suggested removal span to be inside a
+//! multi-byte codepoint boundary, triggering a codepoint boundary assertion.
+//!
+//! issue: rust-lang/rust#128845
