[OASIS Issue Tracker] (ODATA-664) Consider supporting parameterless function imports with no parens

[OASIS Issues Tracker <workgroup_mailer@lists.oasis-open.org>]

     [ https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/ODATA-664?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Michael Pizzo updated ODATA-664:
--------------------------------

    Proposal: For function imports with no parameters the service may support an alternate syntax of omitting the parens. For maximum interoperability, the service must still support calling function imports with the parens.  (was: See summary.

This is unproblematic as the names of all container children must be unique, so there's no collision possible between entity sets, singletons, and functions.)

> Services could be more lax in allowing clients to call parameterless function imports with no parens.
