>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Documentation
>         Environment: http://groovy-lang.org/style-guide.html, release 2.4.7
>            Reporter: tinne
>            Assignee: John Wagenleitner

> The Groovy [style guide|http://groovy-lang.org/style-guide.html] says, "...  Groovy doesn’t allow you to remove parentheses. [...] for nested method calls or on the right-hand side of an assignment, you can’t omit them there."
> Then, a code fragment is given, where just this works.
> {noformat}
> def foo(n) { n }
> println foo 1 // won't work, as documented
> def m = foo 1 // this works indeed!
> {noformat}
> Further more, I could not find any examples, where this would not work, neither with comma separated parameter lists nor with infix computations nor closures.
> So I guess it is just a documentation bug and right-hand side parens removal support has been added.
