Question is : I cannot figure out what rule or what reason "forces" me to add parentheses to test 4/6/8 ... and i would love to know !
This is actually not so easy to explain, since this is a side-effect of the way the grammar for the parser is written... and they are potentially bugs.
if you have foo {}, then this is seen as a complete method call, the parser simply does not expect further arguments after the {} if you wrap the whole thing in parens, you actually have a different rule applying, which explains why it works there. But that is actually not precise enough. we have also a different rule for foo {} and foo 1, {}. So imho the parser simply applies the wrong rule first and the problems you see are a result of priorities... or missing lookahead
