Discrepancy with jq and gojq: subfunction after variable declaration

[pkoppstein]

Using jaq.jq below:

$ jq -n -f jaq.jq
1
2

$ goq -n -f jaq.jq
1
2

$ jaq -n -f jaq.jq
Error: Unexpected token while parsing definition, expected [, if, try, {, .., -, ., (, "
   ╭─[<unknown>:5:5]
   │

   │     ──┬─  
   │       ╰─── Unexpected token def
───╯

---

jaq.jq

def example:
  . as $s
  | def a: 2 * $s;
  ($s, a);

Thanks a lot for reporting this, @pkoppstein! I was not aware that definitions were allowed at such positions. Supporting this will require a breaking change to the syntax, so my plan is to support this for 2.0.
