Adds the `syntax_suggest` syntax error display tool to Ruby through the same mechanism as `error_highlight` and `did_you_mean`. Reference ticket: https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/18159 close ruby#4845 ## What is syntax_suggest? When a syntax error is raised by requiring a file, dead_end will use a combination of indentation and lexing to identify the problem. > Note: Previously this tool was named `dead_end`. ## Known issues - SyntaxSearch's approach of showing syntax errors only works through integration with `require`, `load`, `autoload`, and `require_relative` (since it monkeypatches them to detect syntax errors). It does not work with direct Ruby file invocations ruby/syntax_suggest#31. - This causes failure in the test suite (test_expected_backtrace_location_when_inheriting_from_basic_object_and_including_kernel) and confusion when inspecting backtraces if there's a different error when trying to require a file such as measuring memory (ruby/syntax_suggest#124 (comment)). - Discussed fix. We previously talked about opening up `SyntaxError` to be monkeypatched in the same way that other gems hook into `NoMethodError`. This is currently not possible and requires development work. When we last talked about it at RubyKaigi Nobu expressed an ability to make such a change.
