Prior to this patch, two distinct failure cases would produce the same
generic error message. Refactor the test logic to report the specific
condition which trigger failure.
Four tests were documented as asserting the interpretation of line
terminators within multi-line comments, but the source code did not
actually demonstrate this condition.
Introduce new tests that demonstrate the intended functionality and
place them in the correct directory.
Early errors may result from parsing the source text of a test file, but
they may also result from parsing some other source text as referenced
through the ES2015 module syntax. The latter form of early error is not
necessarily detectable by ECMAScript parsers, however. Because of this,
the label "early" is not sufficiently precise for all Test262 consumers
to correctly interpret all tests.
Update the "phase" name of "early" to "parse" for all those negative
tests that describe errors resulting from parsing of the file's source
text directly. A forthcoming commit will update the remaining tests to
use a "phase" name that is more specific to module resolution.
