Description

When parentheses are omitted from a constructor call, the parser gives an UnexpectedTokenException. Additionally, if the comma is omitted it gives an IndexOutOfBoundsException.
Here's an example.

class Car {
String make
String model

Car() {}

Car(String make, String model)

{ this.make = make this.model = model }

}

c = new Car 'Honda','Odyssey'
println c.dump()
