--wip-- [skip ci]

get the generic text and put it int he suggestion, but suggestion not working on derive subdiagnostic

refactor away from derives and use span_suggestion() instead. Show's the correct(?) generic contents, but overwrites the fn name :(

x fmt

drop commented code and s/todo/fixme

get the correct diagnostic for functions, at least

x fmt

remove some debugs

remove format

remove debugs

remove useless change

remove useless change

remove legacy approach

correct lookahead + error message contains the ident name

fmt

refactor code

tests

add tests

remoev debug

remove comment
