This bug report is actually asking for the non-parentheses template
instantiation to be discarded entirely. It is a feature which relies 100% on
the precedence rules.

Remember that templates can have value parameters, so even something like:

   int y;
   auto x = to!Foo(y);

can be considered to be ambiguous.
Is it: to!(Foo)(y)
or
to!(Foo(y))

This applies to ALL function templates.
The idea that there are a few "ambiguous cases" which could generate errors, is
completely wrong.
