This was introduced by r32235: * parse.y: comma at the end of line is no longer allowed. A patch from Yukihiro Matsumoto <matz AT ruby-lang.org>. (fixed #3456). Is it intended that the above syntax should no longer be valid in Ruby 1.9.3?

Syntax error is intentional. It was caused by a 1.9.2 bug. Matz.
