Hi,
As per 1800 2005 LRM:

12.4.5 Optional argument list
When a void function or class function method specifies no arguments,
the empty parenthesis, (), following the subroutine name shall be
optional. This is also true for tasks, void functions, and class methods
that require arguments, when all arguments have defaults specified. It
shall be illegal to omit the parenthesis in a directly recursive nonvoid
function method call that is not hierarchically qualified.

Why only class methods are relaxed? If general function also used
without () what is the issue there?
