What value is there for a syntax error to include the term "token" in it's message? Is there an expectation that users are familiar with parsing concepts? Seems pretty ridiculous.

Wouldn't an error with "tokens" normally be a lexer error, not a parser error? :P I absolutely agree with you, though! So many parsers have horrible error messages.
JavaScript grammar is context dependent so the lexer is parser driven. Also “unexpected token” is fundamentally a parser error because the lexer already constructed the token.

Ah cool. That makes sense, thanks for the info! I was thinking of errors like "invalid token", if such a thing exists.
