No. That's simply omitting the parens from a function call that 
has no arguments. If it has a name, it's just "optional parens." 
Universal Function Call Syntax is the syntax that allows you to 
call a free function as if it were a member function, which is 
why stuff like

auto result = myRange.find(bar);

works. It _does_ mean that you can drop even more parens, because 
the first function argument is now to the left of the dot, and 
the parens are then empty if there was only one function 
argument, but being able to drop the parens has nothing to do 
with UFCS. We could still have UFCS and yet never be able to drop 
parens.
