Description:
------------
I think will be nice and clean feature to be able to write functions without arguments with no parentheses like:

function ExampleFunction { /* etc.. */ }

instead of

function ExampleFunction () { /* etc ..*/ }

The parentheses here have no sense in my opinion. Thank you

class Example {}
trait example {}
interface Example {}
etc.. why not..
function example {}

As I can already say that this feature will be rejected, you can still try on 
internals and using a RFC, but don't hold your breath for a positive answer. This 
change brings zero gain.
