I agree. In particular I find it a specious argument to insist on
religiously associating "()" with function calling and the lack
thereof with variable access. I don't see myself, when seeing an
expression like "generator(x, y, z).map!(x => x * x)()", going like
"holy cow, good I saw those trailing parens, otherwise I would've
sworn it was a variable". Trailing parens in UFCS chains are just
warts, this is the reality. Let's deal with it.

And what do you think about map!(x => x * x) = generator(x, y, z) ?
I think that ought to be disallowed.
