print whose first argument starts with a parenthesized expression and goes on ((x) + 1, (x) "str", (x) ? a : b) fails when more arguments follow:

$ echo 'x y' | awk '{ print ($1) "-", $2 }'
Error: Syntax error
$ awk 'BEGIN { print (1) + 1, 2 }'
Error: Syntax error

gawk 5.3.2 prints x- y and 2 2. Without the comma (print (1) + 1) it already works.

parse_command folds the rest of the first expression with fold_rhs and then calls parse_command_args, which only starts at an expression, so the comma before the next argument was left over and ended the statement. The comma is now consumed first, like the print (a, b) in arr, ... branch does, with the same "Expected next argument!" error for a trailing comma. print (1,2), 3 is still rejected (CommandDoubleCall), as in gawk.

Test print_list_after_a_parenthesized_first_expression (fails on main). cargo test --workspace: 219 pass (218 on main), clippy clean. Thirteen print forms around this (ternary, concatenation, arithmetic, in, trailing comma, (a,b), c) give gawk's output or, where gawk errors, an error.
