Probably better as an external lint. |

With named tuples this becomes more urgent. I agree, we should deprecate that syntax. |
Looking at #21681, seems like this is common enough to require a compiler warning. Would you like to revive this PR? (Otherwise I am happy to do it.) |
|
The warning at parser goes unseen in October because the arg is now a unituple. (I don't even know the lingo yet.) So the warning info is only meaningful as an addendum to the error here. The warning should be backported to LTS. I'll try that after a second coffee. |

There is not much to addend, as it turns out. Mention the named arg, in case they didn't count the parens; handle the very contrived example where the param name and the tuple element name coincide. |

Should be a migration warning (not deprecation); should not warn on named tuple ops. Probably move the warning to typer (as I meant to do) (or I was thinking refchecks, but it needs to see infix ops). |

I've added the "backport:nominated" label, but note the discussion on #21826 about whether this change should even be considered eligible for backporting. @som-snytt is this one ready for review? I guess it isn't, actually, because we need to decide on:
above, @odersky suggested deprecation, but I'm not sure if he had considered the "migration warning" option, or was just expressing a general "we should phase this out" opinion the advantage of actually deprecating is that more users will see the warning the disadvantage of actually deprecating is that some users will be annoyed |
