I am probably a lousy programmer but I hit again and again that
unhelpful message.
How to reproduce :
eval "{\n\n\n\n\'}"
Unable to parse blockoid, couldn't find final '}' at line 1
Note that the opening quotes are many lines below the start of the
blockoid and there may be many statements between them.
So the line number in the error is unhelpful.
In the simplest case, the quote rules fails because the end of the
file has been reached. I don't see the need
to backtrack and to fail the blockoid.
That's not what's happening.
The blockoid is embedded in the quote, so it fails first, and then the
quote rule fails.
If you're interested in fixing this, you might look at how STD.pm does
it. Some of its constructs are easily transferable into rakudo's
grammar, some not as easy (but need to be ported at some point anyway).
Cheers,
Moritz
