Tracking issue for RFC 1682: field init shorthand

[aturon]

RFC.

Before stabilizing:

• Needs documentation (document field init shorthand #38830)

[Havvy]

Once we have this syntax, we'll want to clean up the compiler where it's useful. Since this would be almost a rote cleanup, we'd either want a mentored issue or a tool to do it.

[steveklabnik]

a tool to do it.

I wonder if @killercup 's rustfix could do this

[eddyb]

@steveklabnik rustfmt doing it by default has also been mentioned. cc @nrc

[nrc]

Yeah, Rustfmt could def. do this.

[killercup]

I haven't read that RFC; if you can write a lint that suggests the new
syntax (with a concrete and valid code suggestion), rustfix will be able to
fix this. (If this is only a syntactic change though it might indeed make
more sense to add this to rustfmt.)

I think that the compiler shouldn't lint for this, suggesting sugar features is more a thing for clippy.

What's the current status on this—in nightly, it looks like, via #11994? Do we know when it's expected to land?

@chriskrycho Confirmed—it works in nightly. I'm using the feature in my nightly project right now.
