We already check this in `Parser::tryLexRegexLiteral`, and the failure case doesn't make sense here as we call `discardToken` afterwards.
Teach the lexer not to consider `/` an operator character when attempting to re-lex a regex literal. This allows us to split off a prefix operator. Previously this was done after-the-fact in the parser, but that didn't cover the unapplied infix operator case, and didn't form a `tok::amp_prefix` for `foo(&/.../)`, which led to a suboptimal diagnostic. This also now means we'll split an operator for cases such as `foo(!/^/)` rather than treating it as an unapplied infix operator. rdar://92469917

5.7 cherry-pick of #58505
Teach the lexer not to consider
/an operator character when attempting to re-lex a regex literal. This allows us to split off a prefix operator for cases such asfoo(!/^/)andfoo(!/, /)rather than treating them as unapplied infix operators. This matches the behavior outside of an argument list.This also improves diagnostics for cases such as
foo(&/.../), as we now correctly produce atok::amp_prefix.rdar://92469917
