[Bug rust/114629] rust-ast-resolve-expr contains bloated code for funny_error

[Jakub Dupak]

There is no specification right now. Just reference implementation. The rustc team is working on it, but it will take a long time and it is not a priority.
There is a language reference, but it is far from the completeness you would need from specification.

BTW, I think it is funny.
