incorrect assertions in test specs
This is to point out some incorrect assertions in the spec tests.
https://github.com/PowerShell/EditorSyntax/blob/44eac8702f3cbe55a4ec70c1fdb163d42b4162fc/spec/testfiles/syntax_test_TheBigTestFile.ps1#L428-L430
The ++ is actually the unary increment operator, and PowerShell will flag this as an error because it cannot be used on a constant.

These are not operators in these instances, so even though the grammar scopes them as such, asserting these tests is misleading and will require correcting when the grammar is improved. This is covered in issue #112.

The # is this spec is not a line comment token. Its actually part of an unquoted non-expanding string that describes a function/command name. This is covered in issue #62.
(Example under PR #156)

Line 1186 specs the $ as definition.variable. This is covered in issue #132.
(Example under PR #156 I have scoped it as punctuation.section.embedded.begin)

This might only be a partial listing. This is some of the specs I am constantly looking at when checking my work. I list these more so that others can avoid needing to question these.
