parse_prefixspeculatively tries the next token as a reserved-word expression head and, on failure, falls back to treating it as an unreserved identifier. Both arms can independently recurse into the same downstream position. Two complementary caches now break the 2^N exploration: an outer per-position failure cache catches chains where both arms fail at every level, and a per-arm cache on the reserved-wordtry_parsecatches chains where the arm fails but the fallback succeeds.Supersedes #2349 (named-arg chain) and #2351 (NOT-prefix chain). Does NOT supersede #2350 (compound-keyword
.not-bchain, which lives inparse_compound_expr).Same machine, release build, apache main
