There are tons of test cases where this is used and it works. I'm guessing
you are trying to code
namespace:class~new
as a line by itself. In that case, the "namespace:" part is recognized as a
label because it's at the beginning of a clause, so the next instruction is
just "class~new), which would give you that error. Using the parens
prevents the namespace qualifier from being interpreted as a label so it
works. Using (namespace:class~new) would also work.
