Research direction

Start by reproducing the inline Python example from the issue and inspect how vim-vimlparse handles exec and embedded Python lines. Done means the shown script parses without the E492 error while preserving Vim's valid behavior.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

vim-vimlparse cannot parse the script, but Vim can run it well:

let s:inline_python = 'python << EOF'
exec s:inline_python
import os
EOF

And it raises the following error:

vimlparser: E492: Not an editor command: import os: line 3 col 1
