<@U6S2T6PV0> the problem here is that the lambda expression is parsed as a last parameter of the preceding `set` function invocation. There are two ways to overcome this:
- surround lambda with parentheses: `({ refreshRightText.set("") })`
- place `;` between `set` and the lambda: 
```
refreshRightText.set(refreshText);
{ refreshRightText.set("") }
```

It would be nice if it is parsed correctly automatically, since there are no matching signature with lambda for `set` function. Are there technical difficulties for this being not parsed as expected?

Parsing happens way longer before matching overloads are analyzed.

Even if we were able to delay the interpretation of the lambda in this case until we know is there a matching function, that would be very fragile.  
Imagine it works this way and you add an overload of `set` with the second parameter of type `Any`. Would you expect that the lambda after `set` with one parameter now changes its meaning?

Explanation appreciated. I was just curious.
