I think it's good that () is always present in 
a function def. Otherwise, what does "def" mean?
Something is being defined, but what? The ()
makes it clear that a function is being defined.

It's not so important with a class, since the
word "class" makes it pretty clear that we're
defining a class! But it would be nice if ()
were at least optional in that case.
