Description

Code

fn a(_: dyn Trait + 'r#fn) {
    
}

trait Trait {}

Current output

error[E0261]: use of undeclared lifetime name `'fn`
 --> src/lib.rs:1:21
  |
1 | fn a(_: dyn Trait + 'r#fn) {
  |                     ^^^^^ undeclared lifetime
  |
help: consider introducing lifetime `'fn` here
  |
1 | fn a<'fn>(_: dyn Trait + 'r#fn) {
  |     +++++

Desired output

error[E0261]: use of undeclared lifetime name `'r#fn`
 --> src/lib.rs:1:21
  |
1 | fn a(_: dyn Trait + 'r#fn) {
  |                     ^^^^^ undeclared lifetime
  |
help: consider introducing lifetime `'r#fn` here
  |
1 | fn a<'r#fn>(_: dyn Trait + 'r#fn) {
  |     +++++++

Rationale and extra context

'fn, as the diagnostic currently suggests, is not a valid lifetime.

it is my understanding that for non-reserved lifetimes, something like 'r#a is supposed to be equivalent to 'a, and that the diagnostic would be correct, were it not for the fact that in this case the r# is mandatory or else it's a syntax error.
