Syntax errors saved from `edit` could benefit from an error message

    • Type: Icon: Improvement Improvement
    • Resolution: Done
    • Priority: Icon: Trivial - P5 Trivial - P5
    • 2.4.1
    • Affects Version/s: 2.1.0
    • Component/s: Shell
    • None
    • Environment:
      Linux

      NB: one can put multiple statements into an `edit`. E.g. when editing a we can do:

      5
      b = 10
      

      which will set a to 5 and b to 10

      If the value of an `edit` in the editor has a syntax error, the remaining statements are not evaluated and there is no error message given.

      E.g. when editing a:

      'new_value'
      b = illegal_syntax
      

      a will take on its new value while b would stick with its old value despite no error message.

      E.g. reversing the order for the syntax error when editing a:

      illegal_syntax
      b = 'new_value'
      

      neither a nor b will take on new values, nor is there an error message.
