We currently use GNU Bison, and it would be possible to offer this feature by using Bison's native error recovery mechanisms: https://www.gnu.org/software/bison/manual/bison.html#Error-Recovery

There are a few sensible places to recover from errors, for instance:

  • Between parentheses (lists, attribute sets, etc), like '(' error ')', or
  • In unfinished bindings like binds attrpath '=' error
  • etc
