After removing 'function' concept, 'func' always means function pointer or delegate. So we cannot call functions without parenthesis anymore. It is unacceptable change to me, and many D programmers would probably argue

It removes all ambiguities.

Optional parentheses are still an option when they aren't ambiguous.

void foo() {}

foo; // Can still call foo if we want to.


It will introduce a new ambiguity. See below example.

int foo();
void test(int function() fp);
void test(int num);

void main() {
    test(foo);  // which test is called?
}
