expect_fun_call gives untypable suggestion #15195

Description

Summary

Some suggestions made by the expect_fun_call lint fail to type.

Reproducer

I tried this code:

#[deny(clippy::expect_fun_call)] fn f(x: Option<i32>) { let s = String::from("foo"); let s = s.as_ref(); _ = x.expect(std::convert::identity(s)); println!("s = {s}"); }

I expected to see this happen: an actionable suggestion

Instead, this happened:

7 | _ = x.expect(std::convert::identity(s)); | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ help: try: `unwrap_or_else(|| { panic!("{}", std::convert::identity(s).to_string()) })`

When applied, the suggestion doesn't compile:

error[E0282]: type annotations needed for `&_` --> t.rs:6:9 | 6 | let s = s.as_ref(); | ^ 7 | _ = x.unwrap_or_else(|| { panic!("{}", std::convert::identity(s).to_string()) }); | --------- type must be known at this point
