Description

@aidanhs
use std::ops::Index;
fn bar() {}
static UNIT: () = ();
struct S;
impl Index<fn()> for S {
    type Output = ();
    fn index(&self, f: fn()) -> &() { f(); &UNIT }
}
fn main() {
    *S.index(bar);
    // S[bar];
    // ^^^^^^ expected fn pointer, found fn item
}

The docs for Index (https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/ops/trait.Index.html) say:

container[index] is actually syntactic sugar for *container.index(index)

but the error above indicates that this isn't true.
