Summary: Block arguments not allowed in expressions

Initial Comment:
The parser in the current CVS version isn't allowing
block arguments when the call is the rhs of an assignment:

int foo(void->int func) = func();
 
void main(String[] args) {
  foo() { return 1; }              //works
  int x = foo() { return 1; }    //doesn't work
}

Although it looks good on the rhs of an assignment, I'm not 
sure about the usage as expression:
bar(foo(){ return 1; }. foo(){ return 5; });

Do you have an example where you to return something from 
a block argument call?
Otherwise I suggest limiting it to statements only and rename 
it to user defined statement.

Only the use of a block call as statement is possible now.
This a parsing problem, I haven't found out yet how to allow a 
block call as expression without requiring ; at the end of both 
examples you gave.
