Ada 80 required empty parentheses for subprogram calls with no explicit actual
parameters. There were many objections to this, even though they disambiguated
some calls that are ambiguous without them, and they were removed in Ada 83. I,
for one, would not want to see them return.
I have to admit I do not see the advantage of this over existing subprograms.
