#coding: utf-8
α=1
eval '1+2'.encode('ascii')

$ ruby file.rb
file.rb:3:in 'Kernel#eval': invalid symbol in encoding US-ASCII :"\xCE\xB1" (EncodingError)
	from file.rb:3:in '<main>'

Running the file below with LANG=C ruby file.rb will make IRB unresponsive

Do not intern invalid symbols in eval parse

When the inner code cannot represent the name of the locals in the
outer code, do not bother putting them into the constant pool as
they will not be referenced.
