Description

Compiling this code crashes the code generator; if the commented line is un-commented then it will compile and run correctly.

module TEST
  imports INT
  imports MINT

  syntax MInt{1}

  // rule _:Int => Int2MInt(0)::MInt{1}
endmodule

If the code is ill-formed for some reason when the rule is not present, we should emit a friendlier error message either in the frontend or in the backend.

Research direction

Start by compiling the provided K code with and without the commented rule to reproduce the code-generator crash. Trace whether the invalid MInt syntax is rejected in the frontend or backend; done means the compiler no longer crashes and emits a friendly error when the rule is absent.
