It doesn't matter. As you can see by my reply to Bengt,
the crux of the issue is that, in Ruby, the function call
syntax is *optional.* There is no way to make it optional
in Python, and it is not clear whether it should be.
What I'm missing, however, is any *thoughtful*
discussion of the issues involved. Your [perjoritive
adverb deleted] response makes it clear that you
didn't think of the issues, you just reacted.
