And with the new deprecation in 1.4 of bare words, a disambiguation goes away where when looking at a function you sometimes had to go "is this a variable or a function". Now functions with 0 args have parens, always.

I've found the locality of everything in the function that you mentioned helps IMMENSELY in refactoring. Just give a function a namespace and call it, and then figure out where it actually belongs later as you figure out your implementation.
