Hi, I attached a patch that would take into account latest commited
changes..
I also attached a patch for changing the SyntaxError exception to our
custom one and catch it down.
Might be good to squash these into your patch before you push if you
think they are ok.. Otherwise I didn't review the tool much since Rich
already acked it.
