I tried this code:
fn main() {
if true {
1
} else {
&1
};
}
I expected to see this happen: I expected that the help text would give syntactically correct code, or that there would be no help text.
Instead, this happened:
help: consider dereferencing the borrow

4 | } else *{
5 | &1
6 | };

The provided code snippet is not valid - it tries to deference the else-block, which is impossible. Better would be to put the * inside the else-block.
