Not a parser issue, as only closures can be used as the last argument outside
of the parentheses of a method invoked with explicit parentheses. (The closure
is not recognized as the 2nd arg, but the last arg)

You could also do this test true, "oops"

Hi there,
is this my fault, for I missed some documentation somewhere, or a parser fault,
for it should have recognised the bool as the 1st and string as the 2nd
argument and just call “test” with “true, 'oops'” in the last case (as I've,
perhaps mistakenly, assumed)?

test "hi"
test(true, "ha")
test(true) { -> "ho" } // a closure is properly recognised as 2nd arg
test(true) "oops" // a string is not?!?
