That's a good point. The writeln = 3; is also a good point. :)
What I'm trying to defend is the ability to call non-property functions
without the parens.
I find this:
array.stable_sort;
file.detach;
range.popFront;
to look less noisy, clearer and just plain sexier than the respective
versions with the parens.
To me, at a glance, it looks like a series of no-ops. Like "x; y; z;". Only
upon closer inspection of the names does it become apperent that functions
are actually being called.
A consequence of this discussion is that the built-in properties
.reverse and .sort MUST be renamed. (Removal would be an acceptable form
of renaming IMHO).
