TDPL states it will be required.

I do not believe it does. I don't recall seeing it, nor do I think it
makes any sense to even mention it considering it shouldn't mention bugs
in the implementation. That said, I don't recall it mentioning functions
being callable without parens.
It does not say that functions should be callable without parentheses,
because that mis-feature is deprecated. Essentially, to someone who is
new to D, there is no need to mention the historical features of D. It
does say that you need to put @property on functions to make them into
properties. At least the copy I reviewed said that (I don't have a final
copy).
