Here is a simplified example of this error:

1.times do
  if true
    break
  end
end

It blows up b/c of a void value expression. E.g. same reason this blows up when run in normal Ruby:

1.times do
  puts(if true
    break
  end)
end

I don't know how to fix this without either making the regex super duper overly hyper conservative, or actually parsing Ruby for real. I'd prefer the latter, but it's beyond me at the moment, so this probably won't be fixed for a while :(

Should be fixed with 259a6f98ce832986dc0f717ede26d65259d5c633 I'll close this once I understand @whitequark's comment so that I can feel confident this hits all the cases of void value expressions.
