1. create an interface
2. put a static block inside it
3. see the error message:
	Syntax error, insert "enum Identifier" to complete EnumHeader

Wondering if we shouldn't be more permissive in our grammar and tolerate static initializers early on, so we can reject them later on; without doing fancy recovery on curly braces.
