Rust-analyzer's extract variable refactor now preserves whitespace from macro input, fixing a bug that corrupted generated code with invalid syntax like `&mutbar`.

The fix [1] keeps semantic analysis on expanded macros but builds the initializer from original source text, solving a problem that plagued developers using extract variable inside proc macros. In parallel, rust-analyzer's fuzzy import matching got a performance boost [2] by reusing lowercase buffers across comparisons while preserving case-insensitive ranking. The compiler itself shipped a rollup of 22 PRs [3] including fixes for trait method resolution on never types, comptime inherent impls, and Windows MSVC EII support. On the cleanup front, the compiler removed obsolete verbose flags from deref/ref suggestions [4], [5] and eliminated a stale comment about lint translatability [6]. Miri merged a fix [7] removing a bogus sanity check from weak memory mixed-size logic, tightening memory model validation.

Action items

→ Update rust-analyzer to get macro extraction fix if using refactor assists rust-lang/rust-analyzer [plan]
→ Sync latest compiler rollup to stay current on trait resolution and Windows support rust-lang/rust [monitor]
