Syntax Errors are a special case, as by definition the code isn't being run
yet (yes, there could be an eval in there...)

So we could at least make those more informative without worrying about
performance.

Also -- would it be possible to tack on the more informative message at a
higher level? Once the Exception bubbles up to the REPL, is there enough
information available to make a more informative message?
