Parser Failed with @(var"which")

[FeatherPurple]

Parser failed with some (admittedly weird) input. Installed Julia with curl -fsSL https://install.julialang.org | sh.

julia> macro var"@hi"() :(println("hi")) end
@@hi (macro with 1 method)

julia> @var"@hi"
hi

julia> @(var"@hi")

Hm, I feel like that's a bug in the flisp parser and should be a syntax error...

Slightly simpler example:

julia> var"@which" 1+1
ERROR: ParseError:
# Error @ REPL[6]:1:12
var"@which" 1+1
#          └──┘ ── extra tokens after end of expression
Stacktrace:
 [1] top-level scope
   @ none:1

julia> @var"which" 1+1
+(x::T, y::T) where T<:Union{Int128, Int16, Int32, Int64, Int8, UInt128, UInt16, UInt32, UInt64, UInt8}
     @ Base int.jl:87

julia> @(var"which") 1+1 # This line is the bug in question
