�� �� why is this valid syntax?



I don't know if this is valid syntax (I always wondered that there is
one place in PointTest, that is not compilable with old compiler but
compiles
fine with opal).
But the error happens in
RBParser>>#parseNegatedNumber.
If a #- is recognized, it tests if a literalnumber follows (but from the
token stream, that is, the spaces are ignored).
Now the real bug is, that we do two "steps" and concstruct a new
literalvaluenode from the now following tokens.
RBParser parseExpression:'- 2' -> throws an error, because no following
tokens
RBParser parseExpression:'- 2 * 3' -> works but actually duplicates the
two last tokens "*3 *3.
and some funny other things '- 2@1' -> '-1@1'

Another one I found in the tests: would you expect

RBParser parseExpression: '#

1 = 1'

To be the same thing as '#1 = 1' ?

And another one:
#t = ##t "-> true"

I thnk ##t should be allowed.
