Description Michael Rennie CLA 2014-05-26 13:54:19 EDT 
Currently we have some support for recovering from incomplete control statements like:

var foo = 0;
if(foo

but if we try to start the block like:

var foo = 0;;
if(foo {

the parser breaks. It silently throws a type error because the recovery is nulling out the lookahead rather than reset it.
