Sorry if I wasn't clear, I do think it's worthwhile restoring this
behavior even though it's undocumented.

There are a couple of advantages, it lets users call a function that may
not be on the load path, and it allows the Run button in the GUI editor
to be used on function files (as long as the function works when called
with no arguments).
