Subject: parsing empty alternatives: case foo|) :;;
Date: Mon, 7 Aug 2017 13:55:59 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170807135559.odtceysgqn5qeqql@tarpaulin.shahaf.local2> (raw)

% case '' in (foo|) echo yes;; esac
yes
% case '' in foo|) echo yes;; esac                                                              
zsh: parse error near `)'

Why does the second case fail to parse?  We (IRC) don't see any ambiguity
in it.

(not a release blocker)

Cheers,

Daniel
