    Attention: for the examples below to work,

    you have to enable the Parsers AllowLazyValueExtension and

    the parsers AllowFunctionCallSyntaxForBlockEvaluation.

    (set the corresponding classVariables in Parser to true).

      Parser classVarAt:#AllowSTXSyntaxExtensions put:true.

      Parser classVarAt:#AllowLazyValueExtension put:true.

      Parser classVarAt:#AllowFunctionCallSyntaxForBlockEvaluation put:true.

    notice that this is just syntactic sugar: the 'FOO(arg)' notation is

    the same as 'FOO value:arg', and !!block is the same as 'LazyValue block:block'.

    BTW: the # is the binary Cons-message.
