Intentional or not, I don't see any downside to disallowing calling

Well, the idea is that the function is a string constructor so it
returns d/w/string.init with nothing passed in.
I think it's worthy of a change. if(something); used to be valid code.
But it's more likely to be an erroneous semi-colon. Making this an error
was a huge win.
Same thing with text with no args. You're actually better off using ""
or string.init.
