1. Empty parens are optional. If there is an ambiguity with the

As mentioned, this seems dangerous. I'd suggest requiring when
there is ambiguity. It still has generic problems, but it will
never be silent.
4. No more @property.
I'm on the side that would miss optional parens if they died. In
would be nice if @property actually made a function behave like a
field.
foo += bar;
It seems there are lots of complications around this? So yes kill
@property.
On another note,
To properly correct this situation we will break code. So before
you get started be sure to try out the new feature preview
release approach :)
