Fn(a: u8) should get a clear diagnostic #140169

@cyrgani

Description

@cyrgani

Code

fn f(_: impl Fn(a: u8)) {}

Current output

error: expected one of `!`, `(`, `)`, `+`, `,`, `::`, or `<`, found `:`
 --> src/lib.rs:1:18
  |
1 | fn f(_: impl Fn(a: u8)) {}
  |                  ^ expected one of 7 possible tokens

Desired output

error: `Fn`-trait syntax does not allow named arguments

Rationale and extra context

fn f(_: fn(a: u8)) {} is valid syntax, so the difference should get better diagnostics
