I'm very affraid before new posting in this group. I don't want write another
100 times "I'm ...". Be gentle, please.

I don't remember such report and I don't know how it works with 3.1 but below
script is parsed ok. Should be?

function{_(x-2,y,1)|_((x+y)*.7,z,.1)|_((x+y+2)*.7,z,.1)|_(x/2+y*.8+1.5,z,.1)}

  That could be considered as an empty command (ie. no command at all).
  Granted, it is an undocumented behaviour (AFAIK).

IMO, the simple answer is:  Who cares?

The parser is very informal in many, many places, and it ain't going to
change until there is a new parser (at that time there will be complaints to
allow this and that, I am sure)...
