Suggest `.{}` syntax when accidentally using `{}`

[vegerot]

Zig Version

0.13.0

Steps to Reproduce and Observed Output

Correct code:

var position = raylib.Vector2{.x = 0, .y = 0};
// ...
position = .{.x = 42, .y = 69};

Wrong code

var position = raylib.Vector2{.x = 0, .y = 0};
// ...
position = {.x = 42, .y = 69};

Error message:

me/game.zig:361:98: error: expected ';' after statement
                        {.x = 42, .y = 69}

Expected Output

me/game.zig:42:69: error: start inferred structs with `.{`
                            .{.x = 42, .y = 69}

As someone new to Zig, this keeps tripping me up, and it takes me a few seconds to realize the actual bug

sort of a duplicate / related to #16591 (that's the first one I found, there may yet be others)

I am not sure but shouldn't be this reported in ZLS repository?

If you want to suggest an improvement to ZLS, then sure.
The message error: expected ';' after statement is the compile error produced by the Zig compiler though.
I guess in the screenshot ZLS is forwarding it to the user.
(Or maybe they're generating the same message internally? But when compiling the source code you receive the same message from the zig compiler directly.)
