Research direction

Reproduce the issue using rust-analyzer.moveItemUp with the two macro_rules! items shown, then inspect the move-item entry point and its handling of macro_rules! tokens. Done means moving the item preserves $capture_name in both the macro arguments and body, with the resulting code remaining valid.
