See rARC3ffed59bd7. Currently, when a unit test includes a syntax error, it is raised in an unclear way ("error at line 10, char 1: XHP1 Unknown lint message!").
This is because each test case only activates rules it wants to test, so we lose the ID/name for the syntax message. However, we always want to test this and the lint engine can always raise it.
To get a better error message, include it unconditionally. So a test for rule X really tests two rules: syntax, and X.
