I think a better error message should suggest the usage of ref ts @...

#72534

This gets us to:

error: expected one of `,`, `@`, `]`, or `|`, found `..`
 --> src/main.rs:5:19
  |
5 |         [h, ref ts..] => foo(c, n - h) + foo(ts, n),
  |                   ^^
  |                   |
  |                   expected one of `,`, `@`, `]`, or `|`
  |                   help: maybe missing `@` in binding pattern?

Format and help message revised to:

error: expected one of `,`, `@`, `]`, or `|`, found `..`
 --> src/main.rs:5:20
  |
5 |         [h, ref ts..] => foo(c, n - h) + foo(ts, n),
  |                    ^^ expected one of `,`, `@`, `]`, or `|`
  |
help: if you meant to bind the contents of the rest of the array pattern into `ts`, use `@`
  |
5 |         [h, ref ts @ ..] => foo(c, n - h) + foo(ts, n),
  |                    ^

Merged. Thanks for the report!

JohnTitor added a commit to JohnTitor/rust that referenced this issue May 30, 2020
Fix diagnostics for `@ ..` binding pattern in tuples and tuple structs

Fixes rust-lang#72574
Associated rust-lang#72534 rust-lang#72373

Includes a new suggestion with `Applicability::MaybeIncorrect` confidence level.

### Before

#### tuple

```
error: `..` patterns are not allowed here
 --> src/main.rs:4:19
  |
4 |         (_a, _x @ ..) => {}
  |                   ^^
  |
  = note: only allowed in tuple, tuple struct, and slice patterns

error[E0308]: mismatched types
 --> src/main.rs:4:9
  |
3 |     match x {
  |           - this expression has type `({integer}, {integer}, {integer})`
4 |         (_a, _x @ ..) => {}
  |         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ expected a tuple with 3 elements, found one with 2 elements
  |
  = note: expected tuple `({integer}, {integer}, {integer})`
             found tuple `(_, _)`

error: aborting due to 2 previous errors
```

#### tuple struct

```
error: `..` patterns are not allowed here
 --> src/main.rs:6:25
  |
6 |         Binder(_a, _x @ ..) => {}
  |                         ^^
  |
  = note: only allowed in tuple, tuple struct, and slice patterns

error[E0023]: this pattern has 2 fields, but the corresponding tuple struct has 3 fields
 --> src/main.rs:6:9
  |
1 | struct Binder(i32, i32, i32);
  | ----------------------------- tuple struct defined here
...
6 |         Binder(_a, _x @ ..) => {}
  |         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ expected 3 fields, found 2

error: aborting due to 2 previous errors
```

### After

*Note: final output edited during source review discussion, see thread for details*

#### tuple

```
error: `_x @` is not allowed in a tuple
 --> src/main.rs:4:14
  |
4 |         (_a, _x @ ..) => {}
  |              ^^^^^^^ is only allowed in a slice
  |
help: replace with `..` or use a different valid pattern
  |
4 |         (_a, ..) => {}
  |              ^^

error[E0308]: mismatched types
 --> src/main.rs:4:9
  |
3 |     match x {
  |           - this expression has type `({integer}, {integer}, {integer})`
4 |         (_a, _x @ ..) => {}
  |         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ expected a tuple with 3 elements, found one with 1 element
  |
  = note: expected tuple `({integer}, {integer}, {integer})`
             found tuple `(_,)`

error: aborting due to 2 previous errors
```

#### tuple struct

```
error: `_x @` is not allowed in a tuple struct
 --> src/main.rs:6:20
  |
6 |         Binder(_a, _x @ ..) => {}
  |                    ^^^^^^^ is only allowed in a slice
  |
help: replace with `..` or use a different valid pattern
  |
6 |         Binder(_a, ..) => {}
  |                    ^^

error[E0023]: this pattern has 1 field, but the corresponding tuple struct has 3 fields
 --> src/main.rs:6:9
  |
1 | struct Binder(i32, i32, i32);
  | ----------------------------- tuple struct defined here
...
6 |         Binder(_a, _x @ ..) => {}
  |         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ expected 3 fields, found 1
