Confusing message on missed 'of' in generics call

Description

Found by Chasm

Below program gives error msg
"The method "method" is expecting 1 argument, but no arguments are being supplied in this call. The declaration is "method(argument as T)""

class Program

    def main
        .method<int>(14)

    def method<of T>(argument as T)
        pass

Call is incorrect but parsed as a (invalid) ChainedCompare.

Probably easy enough to do if used to C* languages generics support.
<Type> vs <of Type> in cobra.

Perhaps trap this (based on comparison being to a Type) and emit a soothing corrective suggestion.

Looking at the patch makes me think that catching "SomeClass?<int>" will be doable too.
