Prior to 510 specifying empty parentheses on a procedure call with no parameters would result in a syntax error. Somewhat silly and corrected in 510. Since BIFs are effectively compiler-supplied procedures it seems reasonable that empty parentheses are allowed on them too--whether this was by design or side-effect only Barbara can say.


By design. If I recall correctly, there was a very brief discussion about whether or not to also allow empty parentheses for BIFs, but no argument because everyone here thought it should be allowed.
