That particular patch abstracts away SyntaxError, which despite its name
is not an exception but a (rather ugly) subclass of StringHolder which
is used in a fairly weird interaction with SyntaxErrorNotification
(being the actual exception being raised). Because SyntaxError works
directly with Debugger it is necessary to remove the references to it if
you want to unload the tools package cleanly. Finally, a SyntaxError is
actually being created when no requestor is given and much of the code
in parser which deals with that looks like "requestor notNil and:[
(requestor isKindOf: SyntaxError) not]". It's just very ugly code.
Cheers,
