Catch 22

[jescalan]

If you run the following code:

true ? 'hello' : (function () { return 'hi' }).call()

Standard will warn you that you have "Gratuitous parentheses around expression". However, if you remove the parens, it will warn you to "Wrap an immediate function invocation in parentheses".

Is there any way out of this?

While the code example is silly, it was meant to be for simplification. I am actually running an expression like this with real code, promise.

This works:

true ? 'hello' : (function () { return 'hi' }.call())
