    public static void Main()
    {
        _ = Enumerable.Empty<string>().Select(Test1); // FN
        _ = Enumerable.Empty<string>().Select(x => Test2(x)); // Everything works as expected
    }

Hi @hankovich, yes I confirm this as a FN, we are just tracking ExpressionsSyntax and
Select(Test1); Test1 is just an identifier. I added a reproducer, thanks!
