Peng is very confused. The syntax defines what is LEGAL. Everything that
does not conform to the syntax is a syntax error. So asking "why is ___
a syntax error" is a really stupid question. It's a syntax error because
it's not one of the allowed constructs. That's it.
Just stop writing broken crap. And stop asking why the broken crap you
wrote is broken.
