Terse parse error on `&raw expr`

[sadmac7000]

I tried this code:

mod foo {
    pub static A: i32 = 0;
    pub static B: i32 = 0;
    pub static C: i32 = 0;
}


fn main() {
    let _arr = [ &raw foo::A, &raw foo::B, &raw foo::C ];
}

I expected to see this happen: Code compiles normally

Instead, this happened: A parser error.

error: expected one of `!`, `,`, `.`, `::`, `;`, `?`, `]`, `{`, or an operator, found `foo`

The syntax is &raw const … / &raw mut …. The error message could be better (raw is a contextual keyword, that's why the parser doesn't give a good~okayish error message out of the box).
