The proposal has two main components (IMO):
1) The transformation of "begin" to "function()" (though I'd argue
that a transformation to "function(...)" would be more useful (and
wouldn't break anything), as then argument(s) can be accessed if so
desired).
2) An extension of the parenthesis-less function call mechanic
currently applicable to string and table arguments, to make it also
work with functions arguments. Doing this with a token filter requires
knowledge of when to inject parenthesis.
