Description

Possible regression:

In Ruby 2.2.3, naked percent-notation was allowed in keyword arguments without spacing, like this:

$ ruby -v
ruby 2.2.3p173 (2015-08-18 revision 51636) [x86_64-darwin15]

$ ruby -e "def foo(x:%i[a b c]); puts x end; foo"
a
b
c

In Ruby 2.2.4 this is a syntax error:

$ ruby -v
ruby 2.2.4p230 (2015-12-16 revision 53155) [x86_64-darwin15]

$ ruby -e "def foo(x:%i[a b c]); puts x end; foo"
-e:1: syntax error, unexpected '%', expecting ')'
def foo(x:%i[a b c]); puts x end; foo
           ^
-e:1: syntax error, unexpected ')', expecting end-of-input
def foo(x:%i[a b c]); puts x end; foo

This however works:

$ ruby -v
ruby 2.2.4p230 (2015-12-16 revision 53155) [x86_64-darwin15]

$ ruby -e "def foo(x: %i[a b c]); puts x end; foo"
a
b
c

Notice the extra space after x:
