what do you think it should do?

According to the grammar in the spec, it's a syntax error as bare integers aren't considered delimited.

I think  run(a<B, C>(1))  parses,  presumably as a generic call on a(1) with B,C type arguments   "a(1) type(B,C)"  

But I'd need to look harder at the grammar.
