[ruby-core:54057] [ruby-trunk - Bug #8220] Segmentation fault when providing defined? operator with empty parentheses

Issue #8220 has been updated by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada).


The parenthesis is interpreted differently between 2.0 and earlier, it
was "interpreted as grouped expression" till 1.9.  That warning has
been removed in 2.0 and now that syntax can be accepted.

That is, the error was a restriction in older versions, and I think
it's not worth replicating.
