Yes, I'm a programer and I understand that zero parameters is nonsesne
and should be replaced with simple expresion withoud function{} shell
but I can imagine some beginners in POV without any programing
knowledge who can tread functions as only set of letter and they can
write such thing and wonder why he should add (x,y,z) if it is not
used inside and is constant.
It is just suggestion to add warning when inside function is only
float expression. Warning could contain note that user rather should
replace function{} with only float and/or should remeber that it is
function with 3 parameters. I think that it could even use sentence
from documentation: "The minimum number of parameters is 1."
Note this says about function and not point to () neither {}.
I hope my english was enough.
