Description

Ripper does not seems to recognize regexp named capture defining new local variables, fails to parse some code.

requie 'ripper'

# expect syntax ok, got syntax error
Ripper.sexp("/(?<a>)/ =~ ''; x = a **a, a if false")

# expect syntax error, got syntax ok
Ripper.sexp("/(?<a>)/ =~ ''; x = a **a, **a if false")

# "exit" is a method call, got string_literal
Ripper.sexp("/(?<a>)/ =~ ''; a %(exit)")

It appears that YARP parses all of these correctly:

YARP.parse("/(?<a>)/ =~ ''; x = a **a, a if false").success?
=> true    
  
YARP.parse("/(?<a>)/ =~ ''; x = a **a, **a if false").success?       
=> false    

YARP.parse("/(?<a>)/ =~ ''; a %(exit)")
# includes: ([CallNode(20...24)(nil, nil, (20...24), nil, nil, nil, nil, 2, "exit")])
