Fix Racc::ParseError so Pattern Matching is supported

[bkuhlmann]

Overview

When using Flog on a project that uses Ruby Pattern Matching, I get the following error:

 bkuhlmann@vilya  rubysmith  alchemists.io  ⑂ release +    flog
ERROR: parsing ruby file ./lib/rubysmith/cli/shell.rb
ERROR! Aborting. You may want to run with --continue.

Steps to Recreate

To recreate, I'm using Flog to illustrate since Flog has Racc as a dependency. Save the following to snippet.rb and run as ruby snippet.rb to see the issue:

# frozen_string_literal: true

require "bundler/inline"

gemfile true do
  source "https://rubygems.org"
  gem "flog", "~> 4.6"
end

collection = {
  a: 1,
  b: 2
}

case collection
  in a: value then puts value
  in b: value then puts value
end

Desired Behavior

Would like to see Racc handle pattern matching without error.

It's late... but I'm confused... isn't this a problem with flog (or, ruby_parser)?

Hey Ryan. 👋 Hmm, perhaps you are right? Would you like me to close this down and file this issue in the Ruby Parser project instead?
