The caret syntax error indicator seems to missing in 6.0. Is this a regression? Its still mentioned in doc/interpreter/basics.txi

In 5.2:

```
octave:1> 1 + (2 + !)
parse error:

  syntax error

>>> 1 + (2 + !)
              ^

```

In 6.0 and 7.0 from git/hg:

```
1 + (2 + !))
error: parse error:

  syntax error

```
(tested with today's tip and much older 6.0 stable)

I have a vague sense this was discussed, so apologies if this is a dupe.

thanks,
Colin
