Throw error on help mode for syntax error
Looking at this thread here on discourse, I feel its paramount to avoid future confusions about this.
The answer marked as solution on the thread gives a good reason why this should be so.
julia> Foo.<
ERROR: syntax: incomplete: premature end of input
help?> Foo.<
search:
Couldn't find Foo.<
Perhaps you meant Foo, Bool or floor
No documentation found.
Binding Foo.< does not exist.
Having Main.<
lead to a ERROR: syntax: incomplete: premature end of input
in the help mode too, just like it does in the normal REPL mode, would be less misleading than saying Binding Main.< does not exist
