There are cases where that strategy has certainly made sense, but at
this point I think you're just grasping for ways to justify leaving in
the non-beneficial "Use either 'foo' or 'foo()', whichever you want,
anytime you want" sloppiness. And making sure that non-feature can
remain by introducing more special-cases into the language to patch
over the problems with the non-feature.
UFCS has effectively buried the case for requiring parens.
