Summary

Fixes the statement/expression distinction for Tell's natural-language method-call sentence:

Tell object to method with arguments. is parsed as a typed call statement in Go and Python, rather than an expression statement.
The call executes with the existing call-expression AST and discards its return value, matching the semantics of Call and Run.
Compiled bytecode uses the existing CALL + POP lowering path.
Adds AST assertions and source/bytecode regression tests proving method results are not unexpectedly echoed.
Adds a shared cross-runtime conformance case.
