Did you see my response?

I suggested recognizing in the parser:

   ( Identifier )

as a special case, in addition to using Parser::isDeclaration().

I just want to point out that this special case is lacking, and will inevitably
cause someone a headache when they try to do something like:

catch(typeof(foo)) {
     ...
}

Which is currently valid (as I'd expect).

That can be special cased, too.
