Yep, parentheses force {} to be interpreted as an expression rather than a block — same reason why IIFEs have !function instead of just function.

I thought IIFE’s usually looked like (function (...params) {})(...args). That’s not the latest way? To be honest I never used them much, at least not after arrow functions arrived.
