Are you suggesting that we special-case the parser for everything that
*might* be an error?

I really don't ever run into this problem myself, and of the many
people I've helped learn Python, it's not a bug that comes up often at
all.  When it does, I say, "You have to call this function, not just
get it." and they say "Oh." and don't make that mistake again.
