Chained function (faker or native) does not work

[Divi]

Hello, if I use this example :

nestedFunctionValue: '<strtolower(<(implode(" ", ["HELLO", "WORLD", \<foo()>]))>)> \<bar()>'

I got this error :

[Nelmio\Alice\Throwable\Exception\FixtureBuilder\ExpressionLanguage\MalformedFunctionException]     
  The value "<(implode(__ARG_TOKEN__7215ee9c7d9dc229d2921a40e899ec5f" contains an unclosed function. 

Version : v3.1.2

I think this example was a bit too wild, in practice the lexer is not good enough and there is still limitations...

My first try was using native function ucfirst() with Faker words() function and native rand(), like <ucfirst(words(rand(1, 3)))> but I couldn't manage to do it.

This one looks simple enough to make it work, but the alternative in the meantime is to leverage faker providers

I've had a quick look but didn't find a satisfying solution. I'll close however as to me it's part of #601. The current in-house system is to have something somewhat working, but switching to a proper lexer/parser like HoaCompiler with a defined grammar is the way to go to avoid those issues.
