Combined multiplication and assignment is not supported either:

rascal>L *= 3;

Taking the time from a date-only value is not supported:

rascal>$2010-07-15.justTime;

Calling an integer as a function is not supported:

rascal>17(3, "abc");
|stdin:///|(6,5,<1,6>,<1,11>): A value of type int is not something you can call like a function, a constructor or a closure.
