Thank you, but I believe we all knew that, already. My point has been
that end-of-file doesn't really belong to the "common but uninteresting
errors that happen often during editing", and your example doesn't
change that, no.
I guess I can imagine some kind of
constantly-evaling-buffer-no-matter-what automation, triggered by
examples like yours, leading to annoyance, but I'm not aware of such a
thing (and would consider such automation broken if it existed; surely
it would at least have to be handling end-of-file itself anyway).
