Bug description

The very simple syntactically incorrect expression 3#0;; is simply ignored both by the toplevel and the compiler. On the other hand, 3#foo;; is handled properly

Steps to reproduce

Just type 3#0;; in any toplevel (tested 3.12 , 4.00, 4.01 and 4.02)

$ ocaml
OCaml version 4.01.0

3#0;;

^CInterrupted.

3#foo;;

Error: This expression has type int
It has no method foo

Or try to compile a file containing the single line

3#0;;

Additional information

The interpreter executed via js_of_ocaml (see try.ocamlpro.org, for example) does not exhibit this behaviour.

Welcome to TryOCaml (v. 4.01.0)

3#0;;
