I just realized that there was a backdoor to overload () operator:

doCall() method:

class A {
doCall(c)

{ c() }

}

a = new A()
a

{println 'hello'}

// works

// I thought I could do

new A()

{println 'hello again'}

// but this does not parse
// then I realized that it looked so much like an anonymous class
// maybe that had confused the parser.
