+A considerable ammount of new specialized messages for :exc:`SyntaxError` exceptions
+have been incorporated. Some of the most notable ones:
+
+* Missing ``:`` before blocks:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ >>> if rocket.position > event_horizon
+ File "<stdin>", line 1
+ if rocket.position > event_horizon
+ ^
+ SyntaxError: expected ':'
+
+
+* Unparenthesised tuples in comprehensions targets:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ >>> {x,y for x,y in range(100)}
+ File "<stdin>", line 1
+ {x,y for x,y in range(100)}
+ ^
+ SyntaxError: did you forget parentheses around the comprehension target?
+
+* Missing commas in collection literals:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ >>> items = {
+ ... x: 1,
+ ... y: 2
+ ... z: 3,
+ File "<stdin>", line 3
+ y: 2
+ ^
+ SyntaxError: invalid syntax. Perhaps you forgot a comma?
+
+* Exception groups without parentheses:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ >>> try:
+ ... build_dyson_sphere()
+ ... except NotEnoughScienceError, NotEnoughResourcesError:
+ File "<stdin>", line 3
+ except NotEnoughScienceError, NotEnoughResourcesError:
+ ^
+ SyntaxError: exception group must be parenthesized
+
+* Missing ``:`` and values in dictionary literals:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ >>> values = {
+ ... x: 1,
+ ... y: 2,
+ ... z:
+ ... }
+ File "<stdin>", line 4
+ z:
+ ^
+ SyntaxError: expression expected after dictionary key and ':'
+
+ >>> values = {x:1, y:2, z w:3}
+ File "<stdin>", line 1
+ values = {x:1, y:2, z w:3}
+ ^
+ SyntaxError: ':' expected after dictionary key
+
+* Usage of ``=`` instead of ``==`` in comparisons:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ >>> if rocket.position = event_horizon:
+ File "<stdin>", line 1
+ if rocket.position = event_horizon:
+ ^
+ SyntaxError: cannot assign to attribute here. Maybe you meant '==' instead of '='?
+
+* Usage of ``*`` in f-strings:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ >>> f"Black holes {*all_black_holes} and revelations"
+ File "<stdin>", line 1
+ (*all_black_holes)
+ ^
+ SyntaxError: f-string: cannot use starred expression here
