The original intent of it was for `if then else` and `try catch` as they aren't likely to be empty, but it accidentally caught function bodys, which have many valid reasons to be empty. Let's special case those out.
The previous API was inconsistent. The new one is
```js
--parser flow
--parser babylon
{parser: 'flow'}
{parser: 'babylon'}
```
if we ever want to add new parsers in the future it'll allow that more easily.
I put a console.log in parser.js in both functions and tested that the test suite worked both with and without the change in run_spec. I also tested that both the previous and new command line options are working.
At some point in the future we'll likely want to get rid of the old api but might as well keep supporting it so we don't break anyone for now.
