Bug #11812: Lack of space between colon and % literal causes syntax error

* Author: Frederick Cheung
* Status: Closed
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: 
* ruby -v: ruby 2.3.0preview2 (2015-12-11 trunk 53028) [x86_64-darwin15]
* Backport: 2.1: DONTNEED, 2.2: REQUIRED
----------------------------------------
The following snippet 

~~~
{tags:%w(a)}
~~~

executes fine in ruby 2.2.3, but raises "syntax error, unexpected '%" when run under ruby 2.3.0preview2. When it is changed to

~~~
{tags: %w(a)}
~~~

Then it parses with ruby 2.3.0preview2 too.
