Do we want functions to act as properties, or merely omit parens for ufcs/chaining?

A bug like this will be found as soon as someone writes a test 
for that property or writes some code that uses it. And once it 
is found, it is trivial to fix. If the code was not tested at 
all, it is bound to contain other bugs anyway and some of those 
will be much harder to find and to fix.
