Sure; the grammar support is there in the strawman, see CallWithBlockArguments.
There's nothing special about this restricted kind of call expression on the
callee's definition side. Any function can be invoked this way.
Object.defineProperty(
Boolean.prototype,
'ifElse',
{
value: function (ifTrue, ifFalse) {
return this ? ifTrue() : ifFalse();
}
}
);
let aBool = Math.random() >= 0.5;
print(aBool.ifElse {|| "true"} {|| "false"});
