+//! Make sure that the closure still gets the correct precedence when round-tripping
+//! through a proc macro.
+//! The correct precendence is `(|| ()) as fn()`, even though these parentheses are not
+//! directly part of the code.
+//! If it would get lost, the code would be `|| () as fn()`, get parsed as
+//! `|| (() as fn())` and fail to compile.
+//! Notably, this will also fail to compile if we use `recollect` instead of `identity`.
+//! Regression test for https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/151830#issuecomment-4010899019.
