New issue 3382 by [email protected]: Parser error for punc-token and
instanceof without whitespace
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=3382
`5instanceof foo` is technically valid but v8 seems to bail on it.
```js
var script = document.createElement('script')
script.textContent = '5instanceof Array'
document.body.appendChild(script)
Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL
```
This should be valid because an identifier cannot start with a number,
hence the lexer should stop after the `5` and find `instanceof` in the next
run. The whitespace is optional here.
Interestingly enough, `[]instanceof Array` is accepted, just as
`({}instanceof Object)`. "Obviously" `/foo/instanceof RegExp` is not
because `instanceof` becomes the regex flags.
