Backport #1065: more human readable output on parsing failure

• Status: Rejected

=begin
It would be kind to apply a patch to make parsing errors more human readable for 1.8.x

ex:

-e:1: syntax error, unexpected tIDENTIFIER, expecting $end
the output is:
-e:1: syntax error, unexpected identifier, expecting $end

or:
-e:1: syntax error, unexpected kEND
-e:1: syntax error, unexpected end

Something like this appears to exist in 1.9, or the above patches might work.

Thank you!
