[ruby-core:72482]

Description

In the following case, syntax error rises when calling a method without parentheses.

a b{c d}, :e do end #=> syntax error(should be syntax ok)
a b(c d), :e do end #=> syntax error(should be syntax ok)
a b{c(d)}, :e do end #=> syntax ok(expected)
a b(c(d)), :e do end #=> syntax ok(expected)

If you change the literal :e to a method name, then the do-block is passed to the wrong method

p p{p p;p(p)}, tap do puts 'Hello' end
#=> LocalJumpError(expected. do-end is passed to the first p)
p p{p(p);p p}, tap do puts 'Hello' end
#=> shows Hello(why? do-end is passed to tap)

versions are

1.8.7-p375
1.9.3-p547
2.1.1p76
2.2.0p0
2.3.0p0
