Yes, that's what I meant.

Well, this ease-of-use has a tradeoff.  When you look at a function
call, you know right away whether it's `our' function or `not our'
function, and that might be a benefit.  But the downside is that we
have to keep that information up to date, and that takes time and
energy.  So the question is, is the time saved by having the
information available going to offset the time spent annotating the
function calls properly?

Oho.   I take it your editor can't cue in on the trailing parentheses
instead?  That would be my choice.
