In some [1] cases where a lexical declaration is not allowed, ASI will
cause a `let` at the end of a line to be interpreted as an
identifier. A recent patch [2] to fix up the error messages from
misplaced `let` usage was a little overzealous in triggering
the error, throwing a SyntaxError in this edge case. This patch
restores the ASI behavior, which is permitted in JSC and
SpiderMonkey as well. Thanks to a test262 test from Andre Bargull
for raising this issue.
