It does matter, since the _output_ of the result (which Steve posted for
your convenience) contains the answer to your question.

The crux of this 'option' is that it's ambiguos whether you wnat to
_access_ or _call_ the function object. See line 12 of the output
meantioned above to know why Python will never implement such an
'option'. [And BTW I probably will never use a language having such an
'option'.]
