Req #53446 [NEW]: Missing } error message

Subject: Req #53446 [NEW]: Missing } error message
Groups: php.doc.bugs 
Request: Send a blank email to doc-bugs+get-5606@lists.php.net to get a copy of this message
From:             
Operating system: N/A
PHP version:      5.3.3
Package:          Documentation problem
Bug Type:         Feature/Change Request
Bug description:Missing } error message

Description:
------------
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end

99 times out of a hundred this means they are missing a closing }

How tricky would it be to make this message say what TOKEN is expected
next, or something along the lines of "look for a missing '}', ')' or
quote" or whatever gets the parser into this state?...

Every newbie gets bit by this.  Some of us got bit a lot. :-)
