Hmm.. do you mean, you get the error when you send an incomplete
expression via C-u RET?  In that case, I think entering the debugger
is a reasonable response. (RET without prefix argument shouldn't send
incomplete expressions.)

Or are you suggesting we should catch reader errors or something else?
If so, please give an example of the input and the preferred response.

Helmut.
