Description
Examples:
enum Enum{
Variant { field /*comment*/ : i32}
}
struct S {
field /* comment */ : i32
}
Both comments get removed without any warning.
Since this seems to be a recurring issue (#5297, #4708, #2781, https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/52444), would it be possible to find some (temporary) middle ground, such as emitting warnings? Can rustfmt get a list of all comments in the code before and after formatting to compare if any went missing?
