I disagree, I find the function calls without the () to be really

But maybe that's just me.
I don't think that it causes serious bugs, you would see that it's
an integer the moment you try and use it. It also helps changing
code from/to functions.
I really like this feature, and would miss it should it go away.
Me too.
Me three.
There was a long discussion about that, which prompted the addition of
@property. I was in the an...@property camp, but had understanding and
sympathy for the ambiguity issues involved without @property.
There was a vote in which as far as I recall the p...@property camp was
beaten to a tender pulp.
Now @property is in. That has created (as I had anticipated) the
unresolved issue of choosing between @property or just function for any
given parameterless function. Also I need to litter my code with
@property. To this day I am not sure whether we made the right decision.

Not just parameterless functions, but functions operating on arrays as
well. And mostly anything, if I recall correctly.
