Comment:

 This code should be correct - nice to learn something about the parser and
 bytecode.  Is this how it's implemented in Python 3 (presumably that's
 written in C, though)?  I couldn't find it, anyway.

 This needs doctests just to document that `var('3')` and `var(' ')` (see
 #9724) fail, though of course the tests already here document this
 indirectly.  I'll post a reviewer patch momentarily, assuming I didn't
 miss something and the patch doesn't actually work.
