Subject: Inconsistent parse error output
Date: Wed, 8 Feb 2023 09:57:55 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAHLkEDtog5HMeU-rVA-pB5895h-PCs_0mbtvKG+vfSoaVbpmJg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

% done; foo
zsh: parse error near `done'
% :; done; foo
zsh: parse error near `done'
% if; done; foo
zsh: parse error near `done'
% if; then done; foo
zsh: parse error near `foo'
%

I would've expected that last one to produce the same error output as
the previous ones.

This can lead to confusing output when the parse error occurs in a file:

% > tst << EOF
if :; then
  :
done

# lots
# of
# comments

foo
EOF
% source tst
tst:9: parse error near `foo'
%
