But the only reason any of this is happening at all is
because of a specific ambiguity that was discovered with the old "empty
parens are optional" approach.

Hmm interesting (esp since it works out in favor of what I wanted :) ) but TBH I do not have a problem with leaving the parens out if it does not meddle with the way I'd prefer to use the language. But it seems you can't have the cake and eat it too.

Having said that, what is your opinion on dropping the ampersand? To me it looks antiquated and out of place especially since it conjures up images of unsafe pointers in C/C++.
