Bug 148098 – We need a better error message for the use let/const/class in a Statement and not a StatementListItem

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: DUPLICATE
• Component: JavaScriptCore

[Saam Barati]

i.e,
if (c)
   let/const/class F;

while (c)
   let/const/class F;

should have a better syntax error message.

Whenever you're editing this code, there's a case in this area that I believe should be allowed, but seems to throw a syntax error:

```
if (true) let: x()
```

or

```
with ({}) let: y()
```

When I run that in JSC, I get

SyntaxError: Unexpected token ':'. Parse error.

whereas in V8, ChakraCore and SpiderMonkey, let is permitted as a label.
