The error-to-raise-arguments-error rule was incorrectly triggering on error messages where ~a appears within quotes or parentheses, like `~a' or (~a, ~a). These patterns represent literal text formatting, not argument placeholders suitable for raise-arguments-error.

Changes

  • Added validation to ensure ~a is surrounded by whitespace or at string boundaries before applying the refactoring
  • Optimized to compute regex matches once instead of twice per invocation
  • Added test cases for quoted and parenthesized ~a patterns

Examples

Now correctly skips refactoring:

;; Backticks around ~a - not refactored
(error 'find-output-radio-box "could not find `~a' radio box" label)

;; Parentheses around ~a - not refactored  
(error 'f "bad point (~a, ~a)" x y)

Still refactors when appropriate:

;; Whitespace-delimited ~a - refactored
(error 'foo "low should be less than high, ~a ~a" low high)
;; becomes:
(raise-arguments-error 'foo "low should be less than high" "low" low "high" high)
Original prompt

This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>Unwanted suggestion from error-to-raise-arguments-error</issue_title>
<issue_description>### Problem summary

The error-to-raise-arguments-error rule shouldn't apply when the error message uses ~a under quotes, like it did in racket/drracket#779. It should only apply if all uses of ~a in the message are surrounded by spaces.

Test case for code that shouldn't be refactored

#lang resyntax/test

no-change-test: "this code should not be refactored"
--------------------
#lang racket
(define (find-output-radio-box label)
  (error 'find-output-radio-box "could not find `~a' radio box"
         label))
--------------------

Unwanted suggestion

#lang racket
(define (f label)
  (raise-arguments-error 'find-output-radio-box "could not find `' radio box" "label" label))
```</issue_description>

Here's another example that shouldn't be refactored:

```scheme
#lang resyntax/test

no-change-test: "shouldn't be refactored"
--------------------
(define (f x y)
  (error 'f "bad point (~a, ~a)" x y))
--------------------
```</body></comment_new>
