[TyOverby]

On rustc 1.8.0-nightly (d5558825b 2016-02-28) attempting to compile the source

#[test]
fn entity_offset_container_test() {
    let 
}

results in the following output from the compiler:

test.rs:5:1: 5:2 error: unexpected token: `<eof>`
test.rs:5 }
          ^
test.rs:5:1: 5:2 error: unexpected token: `<eof>`
test.rs:5 }
          ^
test.rs:5:1: 5:2 error: unexpected token: `<eof>`
test.rs:5 }
          ^
test.rs:5:1: 5:2 error: unexpected token: `<eof>`
test.rs:5 }
          ^
test.rs:5:1: 5:2 error: unexpected token: `<eof>`
test.rs:5 }
          ^
test.rs:5:1: 5:2 error: unexpected token: `<eof>`
test.rs:5 }
          ^
test.rs:5:1: 5:2 error: unexpected token: `<eof>`
test.rs:5 }

Repeated on indefinitely.
