Syntax error message strips whitespace and comments

[llbit]

Is this intended behavior? It might get confusing if a syntax error does not always match the actual source text:

julia> &#= not an infix operator :( =#3
ERROR: syntax: invalid syntax &3 around REPL[15]:1
Stacktrace:
 [1] top-level scope
   @ REPL[15]:1

julia> &           #=
       =#           3
ERROR: syntax: invalid syntax &3 around REPL[16]:1
Stacktrace:
 [1] top-level scope
   @ REPL[16]:1

julia> &               3
ERROR: syntax: invalid syntax &3 around REPL[17]:1
Stacktrace:
 [1] top-level scope
   @ REPL[17]:1
