A reference to a method with a captured receiver. eg. &x.foo or just &foo is self is captured.

Currently, the syntax is analogous to a simple call (recv.foo) with a prefix &. On chains, only the last call is captured (. has a higher precedence than &).

The syntax is analogous to a call (except the &), there is always a receiver (including the implicit self or sys) and arguments are accepted by the parser.

TODO There is no clear syntax proposal

  • to avoid the capture of a receiver since a receiver is statically expected to resolve the method name
  • for special method names (setters, brackets and operators)

Note: The class specializes ASendExpr (trough ACallFormExpr) so some behavior of a genuine send expression must be redefined.
