Bug #14206: Null-byte ignored inside class/module/method bodies

I would have expected the following code to not be accepted by the Ruby parser, but instead it acts as if the zero-byte wasn't part of the string.

eval("def m\n\0end")

Changing to a block to start with begin

eval("begin\n\0end")

Produces the expected syntax error

SyntaxError: (eval):2: syntax error, unexpected end-of-input
