Parentheses 1 2
1 0
quotes 1 0 1
0 1 0 1 0
OK I don't see any violation of quoting or parentheses matching. Still trying
to figure out what this lambda does.

thanks for the release; I tried to reply in the dev list, but failed miserably.
Sorry for any noise.
I see this simple difference which broke some ancient code which works in
Python 3.8.2

so presumably there has been some parser / language change which renders
and'\n' illegal. Is this a real syntax error or an alpha issue? It looks like
the tokenization has changed. Putting in the obvious spaces removes the syntax
error.
