[Feature Request] "bang" syntax for calling functions with no arguments.

[twoolie]

I've been looking at the LiveScript additions to coffeescript and I feel that there is one piece of livescript that we can adopt that will remove the last few mandatory parens from coffeescript. That feature is the "bang" syntax for calling functions with no arguments. e.g.

@elem.text()
  becomes
@elem.text!

@slides.text().split("\n")
  becomes
@slides.text!split "\n"

This would be very handy for those of us who detest parens and love coffeescript for it's ability to do away with them.

Thanks, @renekooi.

I swear, I searched for both "!" and "bang" in the ticket list before opening...

Hmm, it's time to update the FAQ.
