Bug description:
In the grammar file, a soft keyword being the start of an expression makes it fail the path where the error message has this appended: "Perhaps you forgot a comma?"
However, it also apparently does the same thing for any identifer that is a prefix of any soft keyword.
>>> # multi-letter cases
>>> # fine, expected behavior
>>> (test x)
File "<stdin>", line 1
(test x)
^^^^^^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax. Perhaps you forgot a comma?
>>> (match_ x)
File "<stdin>", line 1
(match_ x)
^^^^^^^^

SyntaxError: invalid syntaxSince m is a prefix of match, "forgetting a comma" (i.e. being in a situation that normally triggers that specific error) doesn't provide the same error message as other "normal" identifiers.
