Sorry that I missed your message! treesit-query-validate simply compiles the 
query and rely on tree-sitter to report any potential error. But predicates 
like #match and #equal are delegated to Emacs to handle, so tree-sitter doesn’t 
check for their arity and there is no error during compilation. Also, the error 
message should say “#match” instead of “#equal”, I fixed that typo.
