dart2js: Combination of generic function invocation and Function types not implemented

[eernstg]

With dart2js (from e299963, 2.0.0-dev.7.0, and probably all versions this year), the following program claims a syntax error:

main() => print(f<String Function(int)>(null));

This syntax is allowed (the actual argument to print is an invocation of a generic function where the actual type argument is a Function type). Here's the report:

scratch.dart:1:26:
Error: Expected ')' before this.
main() => print(f<String Function(int)>(null));
                         ^^^^^^^^
Error: Compilation failed.

The problem also exists when invoked as dart2js --use-kernel ...

One known part of the problem is that isValidMethodTypeArguments in 'parser.dart' hasn't been updated to take the new style Function types into account, and in particular tryParseType expects only the syntax we had before those types were added. Other parts of the parser may also be unprepared for this kind of syntax once isValidMethodTypeArguments is updated such that an attempt will be made to parse a generic function invocation.

this seems to now be handled correctly by the CFE
