I'm not sure what you mean. The parentheses are definitely NOT
redundant; you cannot leave them off. Without them you don't have a
function definition, not in any POSIX-based shell (including bash)

~$ foo { echo bar; }
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `}'
~$ foo () { echo bar; }
~$ foo
bar
