If I recall well, this was decided because it was considered to be
wrong, and TeX cannot handle rightly the situation. An dit is not new,
this is in the Texinfo manual:
The braces are required in the invocation (but not the
definition), even when the macro takes no arguments, consistent with
all other Texinfo commands.
