You must always use it to retrive a property. You must always use it with
any function, unless you used the bracketed form of the function. You must
use the bracketed form of the function if it is a custom function. The
following are the only legal ways to write the following:
put the time
put time()
put the rect of image 1
put myCustomFunction(whatever)
