well, since Lua has similar sugars for function calls with a single parameter
of string and of table constructor, it would lead to a similar grammer ambiguity
as to the string case:

this code
  a = b   { some = 'table constructor' } : method()
could either be interpreted as
  a = b;  { some = 'table constructor' } : method()
or
  a = b{ some = 'table constructor' } : method()
