Subject: [ruby-core:119192] [Ruby master Bug#20736] prism emits wrong warnings in syntax-error code

Issue #20736 has been updated by mame (Yusuke Endoh).


I wonder if error recovery is needed in the interpreter's parser. It might be a benefit to be able to output almost all syntax errors in one run. However, I am not sure about the benefit, given the such confusing warnings.

Well, let's stop the test warnings and try it for a while. If other problems arise, we should stop error recovery in the interpreter.
