The way to fix this is to replace the entire parser and get

DMD tries to continue parsing after a syntax error, but it does
not attempt semantic analysis if there were any errors.
The problem i underlined is more that, like in the code that
parses typeof, a non null node is returned even if some
expectations are not verified when parsing.
I'm not sure of what is the right fix. fixing the ast pretty
printer or the parser ?
