I do this all the time, expecting that it'll work. It doesn't work in Python, and we're going to steal that doesn't-work part from Python.

$ python3
>>> print "OH HAI"
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

But we're going to steal a hypothetical error message from Perl 6. 😃 Something like Illegal use of listop function call syntax. Did you mean 'say(<expr>)' ?

Trigger a syntax error on say <expr>

I keep writing this by mistake, because I'm used to it in Perl 6.
Might as well put in a good error message for it.

Closes masak#49.

Re-opening 'cus of the 66517bc revert.

The plan is to come back and do this but in a way that doesn't go down the garden path on blocks, thinking they're TTIAR objects.
