/// @assertion This new syntax also introduces new ambiguities in the grammar,
/// similar to the one we introduced with generic functions. Examples include:
///
/// f(a<b,c>(d)); // Existing ambiguity, resolved to a generic method call.
/// f(x.a<b,c>[d]); // f((x.a<b, c>)[d]) or f((x.a < b), (c > [d]))
/// f(x.a<b,c>-d); // f((x.a<b, c>)-d) or f((x.a < b), (c > -d]))
/// The x.a<b,c> can be an explicitly instantiated generic function tear-off or
/// an explicitly instantiated type literal named using a prefix, which is new.
/// While neither type objects nor functions declare operator- or operator[],
/// such could be added using extension methods.
///
/// We will disambiguate such situations heuristically based on the token
/// following the >. In the existing ambiguity we treat ( as a sign that it's a
/// generic invocation. If the next character is one which cannot start a new
/// expression (and thereby be the second operand of a > operator), the prior
/// tokens is parsed as an explicit instantiation. If the token can start a new
/// expression, then we make a choice depending on what we consider the most
/// likely intention (that's specifically - and [ in the examples above).
///
/// The look-ahead tokens which force the prior tokens to be type arguments are:
///
/// ( ) ] } : ; , . ? == != .. ?. ?? ?..
///
/// & | ^ + * % / ~/
///
// Any other token following the ambiguous > will make the prior tokens be
// parsed as comma separated < and > operator invocations.
///
/// @description Checks disambiguate by '?' token. Test that a<b, c>? is
/// parsed as (a<b, c>)?
