Cannot call methods using method syntax sugar with comptime arguments

[Andre-LA]

Base code to reproduce:

local X = @record{y: integer}

function X:A(a: facultative(stringview) <comptime>)
  ## if a.type.is_niltype then
    print'A is niltype'
  ## else
    print(#['a is ' .. a.value]#)
  ## end
end

Using it without method call syntax sugar works:

local z: X = {0}

X.A(z)
print'---'
X.A(z, 'hello world')

However, using the syntax sugar produces an error:

local z: X = {0}

z:A()
print'---'
z:A('hello world')

error code (gcc):

Fixed in a recent commit, check if works for you so we can close.

Fixed, thanks! :D

Also tested on a more complex case, it's also fixed there

Closing issue :)
