This gets an internal compiler error on 1.17 but works on tip (works in the sense that the compiler reports the error "nil is not used"). Since this is invalid code, and this is fixed on tip, and the error is not so bad in 1.17, I'm not sure it's worth backporting a fix. Happy to hear other opinions.

Since this issue is resolved on tip, I'll move it to that milestone and close it as fixed. It can still be considered for backport to 1.17 and 1.16 (if 1.16 is affected), but I do not think it would meet the bar for the reasons Ian described. Thank you for reporting it, though.
