Fix infinite loop in Parser.with_names for malformed WITH statements (#605)
Resolves #556. The parser would hang indefinitely when encountering malformed SQL with consecutive AS keywords in WITH clauses (e.g., "WITH a AS (...) AS g"). The issue was in the with_names property loop: after processing a WITH clause, if the next token was another AS keyword (invalid syntax), the parser would not advance the token, causing an infinite loop. This fix: - Detects malformed SQL with consecutive AS keywords after WITH queries - Raises ValueError("This query is wrong") instead of hanging - Ensures the token always advances to prevent infinite loops - Adds test case to verify the fix Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
