Daniel,
 
This was a ballot issue during IEEE standardization,  and it was
resolved in favor of the Uniform Access Principle

as in the Eiffel and Ruby programming languages.

IMHO there method call definition in SV is a little messy. 
Sometimes SV want methods to be called wihtout parathensis IE
<sequence>.triggered
Sometimes you can use both versions:
<enum>.next;
<enum>.next(2);
or even :
<enum>.next();
 
 
Maybe it is good idea to make this situation clear like in other
languages:
- methods always have to be called with parathensis (if no arguments
then empty parathensis), 
- properties are referenced without parathensis
 
This even allow to have methods and properties with the same name, and
make code more readable.
 
best regards,
 
DANiel
