type of X doesn't match..

The latest https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu/releases/tag/v23.0.0 release highlights this naga WGSL parsing error:

fn gimme_a_float() -> f32 {
  return 42; // fails in Naga, but standard WGSL happily converts to `f32`
}

this is the single most annoying "feature" of the current framework, IMO. I couldn't find the issue that is tracking it. Any chance it could receive some urgent attention? Thanks!

ps. It occurs in simple direct assignments as well, e.g.,

var<storage, read_write> Neurons: array<f32>;
...
Neurons[x,y] = 0;

The issue you're looking for is #4400. Said issue is one of Firefox contributors' highest priorities, though unassigned. I'm guessing we'll start work on it before the end of the year, but it's hard to provide estimates, with the volume of new issues coming in.
