V8 works towards implementing the ECMAScript spec, which you can find at
https://tc39.github.io/ecma262/ . It doesn't provide any compatibility
modes for other versions of JavaScript shipped by particular browsers, or
historical versions of JavaScript. In standard JS, the null byte is not a
whitespace character, so it makes sense for V8 to throw a SyntaxError.
