Some stage 4 files cannot be lexed (at stage 4 of the blog) #9

Files starting with skip_onfailure can't be lexed at stage 4.

The blog says "It should work for all stage 1-4 examples in the test suite, including the invalid ones."

I had this same issue! Looks like they depend on local variables which is a stage 5 thing.

Thanks for flagging this! I've updated the blog to clarify that you don't need to handle lexing and parsing those three test cases at this stage.
