[ruby-core:120630] [Ruby master Bug#21031] Incompatibility with prism and parse.y when eval'ing unnamed forwarding variables

["Eregon (Benoit Daloze) via ruby-core" <ruby-core@ml.ruby-lang.org>]

Issue #21031 has been updated by Eregon (Benoit Daloze).


As a note, I checked and the `*` and **` examples (Case 1 & 2) work in 3.2 and 3.3.

Case 3 / `&` seems incorrect though, as it should print the block but doesn't.

## Case 1

```rb
# t.rb
def foo(*)
  eval("p(*)")
end

foo(1)
```

```
$ ruby --parser=prism t.rb
t.rb:4:in 'Kernel#eval': (eval at t.rb:4):1: syntax error found (SyntaxError)
> 1 | p(*)
    |   ^ unexpected `*`; no anonymous rest parameter

	from t.rb:4:in 'Object#foo'
	from t.rb:7:in '<main>'
```

```
$ ruby --parser=parse.y t.rb
1
```

## Case 2

```rb
# t.rb
def foo(**)
  eval("p(**)")
end

foo(a: 1)
```

```
$ ruby --parser=prism t.rb
t.rb:4:in 'Kernel#eval': (eval at t.rb:4):1: syntax error found (SyntaxError)
> 1 | p(**)
    |   ^~ unexpected `**`; no anonymous keyword rest parameter

	from t.rb:4:in 'Object#foo'
	from t.rb:7:in '<main>'
```

```
$ ruby --parser=parse.y t.rb
{a: 1}
```

## Case 3

```rb
# t.rb
def foo(&)
  eval("p(&)")
end

foo{}
```

```
$ ruby --parser=prism t.rb
t.rb:4:in 'Kernel#eval': (eval at t.rb:4):1: syntax error found (SyntaxError)
> 1 | p(&)
    |   ^ unexpected `&`; no anonymous block parameter

	from t.rb:4:in 'Object#foo'
	from t.rb:7:in '<main>'
```

```
$ ruby --parser=parse.y t.rb

```

## Case 4

```rb
# t.rb
def foo(...)
  eval("p(...)")
end

foo(1, 2, 3)
```

```
$ ruby --parser=prism t.rb
t.rb:4:in 'Kernel#eval': (eval at t.rb:4):1: syntax error found (SyntaxError)
> 1 | p(...)
    |   ^~~ unexpected ... when the parent method is not forwarding

	from t.rb:4:in 'Object#foo'
	from t.rb:7:in '<main>'
```

```
$ ruby --parser=parse.y t.rb
1
2
3
```

I expect to the parse.y behavior.
