+The recommendation is that we should keep statements starting with string tokens as illegal syntax, as it is too niche to support use cases with side-effecting functions.

 ## Drawbacks
 
-Statements starting by parsing `prefixexp` will now allow string tokens to be parsed despite that the return values of the function calls are now discarded.

+Statements starting by parsing `prefixexp` will now allow string tokens to be parsed despite that the return values of the function calls are always discarded. This is a non-issue if we obey the recommendation to ban statements starting with string tokens.
