Description
Unknown as type blows away the whole function. The parser should more gracefully recover.

cb()
end sub

Research direction
Start by locating the BrightScript parser handling function declarations and as type annotations. Reproduce the example with an unknown type, then inspect how parsing continues after the error. Done means the function body, including cb(), is still parsed after the unknown type is reported.
