Problem Statement
Command-line arguments can be creatively malformed by new users (me!) and provide unhelpful error messages sometimes.
I was exploring the concat feature and happened to trigger this crash.
Steps to Reproduce
$ echo "" | xq -x '('
Actual Result
XPath error: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference
Expected Result
Some sort of syntax error, maybe pointing to the bad character
