function call should take precedence over inflix operators

[sourcevault]

I think function calls should take precedence over inflix operators in moonscript.

Currently inflix is processed first:

multi = (a) -> a*2

print (multi 1) + (multi 3) -- 8

print multi 1 + multi 3 -- 14

I agree it might break existing moonscript codebase. So the change should be made in moonscript 2.0

I strongly disagree with this; x y + 1 would be valid both before and after; before as a function call, after as an expression statement. If you really need precedent, use: multi(1) + multi(3).

Alright, I have no problem with whatever is finally decided, I just found the change in order unexpected.

multi call 1 add multi call 3

If you think in terms of BIDMAS rules the call operator is even above the brackets, while add and subtract have the lowest precedence.

Looks like I only replied on discord. The precedence of function calling in this scenario will not change, and will probably never change! You're welcome to fork though :)

BTW this syntax is inspired by what coffeescript does, and works the same as that.
