Eh... first I don't see a question here :)
Anyway, I think the behavior you've implemented is fine - it's a corner
case anyway, and what is "correct" here can be argued about.
Still, please add such a test to the test file. To show that such a
syntax is possible, it doesn't cause a crash, it produces the expected
(by the implementor, at least) results.
Regards / Mit vielen Grüßen,
Sergei
