I did :) Jochen just told me that I can use "myList.each() {...}".

There are two reasons why I do this:

- Consistency (I never have to think whether to omit the parens or  
not). That means I can store "typing macros" in my fingertips.

- The parens are a good visual clue for "this is a method call" (and  
not a property access). Again, my eyes are trained for these and my  
brain gets a pre-processed version when I read code - I don't have to  
"read" the line; I simply somehow "know" that it's a method call.
