It seems that devs forgot to add method for showerror() for the error type Base.Meta.ParseError.
For example, when typing 5 sin I get a nice error printing:
julia> 5 sin
ERROR: syntax: extra token "sin" after end of expression
But if I type Meta.parse("5 sin") it doesn't look so good:
julia> Meta.parse("5 sin")
ERROR: Base.Meta.ParseError("extra token \"sin\" after end of expression")
