LO 80731 - Incorrect syntax does compile, MID without end bracket

[Pierre Lepage]

<https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80731>Search for a
viable solution to the bug 80731 - Incorrect syntax does compile, MID
without end bracket
<https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80731>

The solution brings a lot of hassle for customers of the LibreOffice suite
whose work relies on the performance of StarBasic macros written by third
parties. Macros containing code in error by the absence of a closing
parenthesis suddenly cease to function. For this reason, the patch has not
been released. Here I want to explore a transitional solution by getting
your feedback first. This is to include in StarBasic options dialog
accessible to the client a "StarBasic Pragma Strict" option (checkbox) by
which the client consciously activates the solution (the patch that has not
been published!). This check box would be available for a few years with a
warning to prompt programmers and customers to require their programmer to
correct their default code on the closing parenthesis.
