Wanted to understand why this fails to compile:

List(("Mark", 4), ("Charles", 5)).filter(case(name, number) => number == 4)

:1: error: illegal start of simple expression
       List(("Mark", 4), ("Charles", 5)).filter(case(name, number) => number == 4)

Yet this works fine:

List(("Mark", 4), ("Charles", 5)).filter{case(name, number) => number == 4}
