I have thought an additional idea.
If we really want a feature to disable optional parentheses for normal
functions, we can add @function attribute to the language spec.
int foo();
@property int bar();
@function int baz(); // new!
int x1 = foo(); // ok
int x2 = foo; // optional parentheses, allowed
int y1 = bar(); // disallowed, calling int is meaningless
int y2 = bar; // ok
int z1 = baz(); // ok
int z2 = baz; // *disallowed* by @function attribute
How about?

Brings completeness. But at this point I'm inclined to simplify,
simplify, simplify. Your #1 proposal to ratify current behavior and
never apply "()" deeply is very sensible. If we also find a simple way
to implement writing for properties we may be able to eliminate
@property entirely.
