Description
BrightScript supports IIFE right now! However, the parser doesn't like them, so we need to add parser support. Here's a few examples:
result = function(message)
return message
end function("it works")
print (function(message)
return message
end function)("it works")

Start at the parser entry point for BrightScript function expressions and compare its behavior with the two IIFE examples in the issue. The work is done when both assignment and direct invocation examples parse successfully, with tests covering those forms.
