I've hit this error a couple of times and it can be really annoying. I always
think I'm missing an argument. For example:

module test;

struct Foo
{
    void foo () const
    {
        auto b = bar;
    }

    bool bar ()
    {
        return false;
    }
}

Compile the above code with DMD 2.060 results in:

Error: function test.Foo.bar () is not callable using argument types ()

If I add parentheses when calling "bar", I get a better error message:

Error: function test.Foo.bar () is not callable using argument types () const

Where it actually mentions "const". Although the error message could be even
better than this.
