I don't think it's that easy.

The following code works

def Foo
  p "in Foo method"
  Foo.new "test"
end

class Foo
  def initialize(s)
    p "in class Foo " + s
  end
end

Foo()

if you remove the "()" from the methodcall it doesn't work
If you change the Foo-method to "foo" it works without the "()" also.
