docs(syntax): fix stale/false claims in SYNTAX.md#442
Merged
Conversation
A document review found four claims contradicted by the running binary:
- "No break/continue: use flag variables" — both keywords are real and work
(`break` in a loop exits it).
- "`n` is still available ... for backward compatibility" (with a named param
list) — false: `define f(a) as: return n` raises `undefined variable 'n'`.
The implicit `n` exists only when there is NO parameter list.
- "list/dict literals must be on a single line" (twice) — false: multiline
collections inside `[ ]`/`{ }` parse fine.
- REPL banner shown as "EigenScript 0.6.0" — now 0.26.0.
Replaced the (entirely false) "Limitations" section with a "Gotchas" section
covering the REAL ones: the `f of [x]` spread trap, byte-strings-not-chars, and
finite numbers. SYNTAX.md is not in the byte-checked doc-examples set.
