Humanist error messages do display properly for "no method errors", "undefined words", "divide by zero", etc. ...but not for syntax errors. I'm not really sure why. For example:

test.rb:4: unterminated string meets end of file

And dictionaries/humanist_error.en.yml does define a human-readable error message for this error, but the user doesn't get to see it.

I was originally thinking about contributing to this project by submitting a human readable error message for "unexpected tIDENTIFIER". But an "unexpected tIDENTIFIER" is a syntax error, so my human readable error message won't ever be read by anybody. So I would really like this bug to be resolved, and so I reported this issue. I tried to find out what might be causing this bug, but so far, my search has been fruitless.

Nice meeting you today!

I don't want to fork this to the company organization, so here are the code changes: https://gist.github.com/cantino/17cf8b7345c244b28d6b
