#=> hang up, Ctrl-C doesn't work

Expect to raise ParseError with `@type=:nesting_too_deep` like `Prism.parse '(1+'*10000`

### Background

Runnning `rdoc` in `ruby/rbs` directory with Ruby 3.4, RDoc hangs up.
RDoc tries to parse the partial file content, and stops with `stdlib/ripper/0/ripper.rbs` (https://github.com/ruby/rbs/blob/a7178b12b041f5b304f4076aa01efed817ba8040/stdlib/ripper/0/ripper.rbs)


Parseable checking code in RDoc https://github.com/ruby/rdoc/blob/14a7631a3775e033791f13baa3be76c94b908e3d/lib/rdoc/markup/to_html.rb#L437
```
def parseable? text
  ...
  eval("BEGIN { throw :valid, true }\n#{text}")
  ...
end
```

However, RBS doesn't seem to use RDoc, so I think it's not a big problem.
