FUNC '(' indirob expr ')'      /* print ($fh @args */

Hmm, so it specifically allows parens there! I had no idea--I thought they would defeat this way of parsing.

Also, is print special? I don't recall foo (bar (5)); ever trying to call bar->foo(5) instead.

Is that why you don't agree that indirob is the right characterization for it?
