For what it's worth, I would support removing the "optional"
empty parens on calls of class methods with no arguments.
We should require those parens under all circumstances,
for clarity and readability at call sites.  It's also more
uniform and lends itself positively to name resolution,
as Steven alluded to in his post.

I am not a fan of the "Uniform Access Principle".
