RE: [sv-bc] RE: [sv-ec] svlog enum function usage & maven query

Steven,

Good point.  I think the main intent for calls to non-void methods was
to elide parentheses when there is a method_call_root, as needed by the
UAP.  So 13.5.5 should be more restrictive.

What if we move this code to the inside of a class, so that funct
becomes a method (and declare the local variable 'next' to be
explicitly static)?  According to 13.5.5, the parentheses can be
omitted from a method function call.
