sends. These are far trickier than instance messages, because we
typically have something like
NSArray alloc]
where it appears to be a declaration of a variable named "alloc" up
until we see the ']' (or a ':'), and at that point we can't backtrace.
So, we use a combination of syntactic and semantic disambiguation to
treat this as a message send only when the type is an Objective-C type
and it has the syntax of a class message send (which would otherwise
be ill-formed).

narrow, almost useless case where we're inside a parenthesized
expression, e.g.,
(NSArray alloc])
The solution to the general case still eludes me.

part of parser recovery. For example, given:
a method1:arg];
we detect after parsing the expression "a" that we have the start of a
message send expression. We pretend we've seen a '[' prior to the a,
then parse the remainder as a message send. We'll then give a
diagnostic+fix-it such as:
fixit-objc-message.m:17:3: error: missing '[' at start of message
send expression
a method1:arg];

The algorithm here is very simple, and always assumes that the open
bracket goes at the beginning of the message send. It also only works
for non-super instance message sends at this time.
