You had more than one example of pulling out "anonymous" objects from a call, because that is "how it's done." The point is that it is ridiculous that one must go to these lengths to help parse a language, especially when it flies in the face of the language's doctrine.

Same goes for parentheses "here or there but not there, sometimes." This may very well be the anathema for those that don't understand the claims that ";" or "function" or "}" are real burdens.



It doesn't go against the language's doctrine. The guy who invented it explicitly recommends pulling out anonymous objects and functions if they're not super trivial.
