Research direction
The issue names no repository file or test. Start by reproducing the PowerShell sample and inspecting the syntax scope assigned to where{...}.foreach{...}; compare it with the parenthesized form and the where method. Done means foreach receives a specific, consistent scope after a curly brace without regressing the existing highlighting.

Issue Description
Powershell methods foreach and where are not highlighted after curly bracket. With parenthesis it works fine.
Example code:
@($group).where{$_.count -gt 1 -and $_.name}.foreach{...}
"where" is highlighted.
"foreach" is not highlighted and has a very general scope
Screenshots

Expected Behavior
The foreach should have a more specific scope.
Code Samples
@($group).where{$_.count -gt 1 -and $_.name}.foreach{...}
