Strange error message from LibraryImport

[stephentoub]

Compiling:

using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

Console.WriteLine(Interop.MyFunction());

partial class Interop
{
    [LibraryImport(Abc)]
    internal static partial int MyFunction();
}

errors with the message:
"The 'Invalid syntax' configuration is not supported by source-generated P/Invokes."

That's a very strange error message 😄

Do we even need a diagnostic in this case? It's not going to compile, anyway, as the C# compiler itself also issues "error CS0103: The name 'Abc' does not exist in the current context".

We technically don't need a diagnostic. I'd be okay with removing it.

Agreed - we should just remove.
