Re: x="abc":upper() v.s. x=("abc"):upper() patch

Sorry for being unclear. I feel that this would make more sense as two statements than it would as a single (complex) statement.

Yes, that would give an "ambiguous syntax" error under the new
proposal, whereas currently it is interpreted as Foo =
bar("baz"):quux(); .  Alternatives without semicolons include

  Foo = bar "baz"
                 :quux()

Some discussion on semicolons was in [4].
