11069 :: leave parenthesis for procedures that take 0 parameters like Ruby

  Hey, today I did something evil in Nim.

  I was so sad that I have to write those extraaaa parenthesis for some procedures like paramCount().

  I wished something like Ruby ...

  import std/os
  
  converter procToCall[T](prc: proc(): T {.nimcall.}): T =
      prc()
  
  echo paramCount ## now works!
  Run

  Enjoy!

  The converter keyword lets you do totally insane things. I also did something evil with it and created this abomination. You might get a kick out of it.
