Should the Reflection function numFields() be parenless?
This depends on #17984.
Many times throughout the standard modules or builtin types, methods
are made parenless when they seem more like an attribute of a type
than a method on it.
Some examples would be:
range.stridedomain.rank-
numLocales(Actually aconfig const, but still)
Should numFields() follow suit and drop the parens? It seems like a
good candidate as a statically computed value.
And while we are here, are there any other methods in the Reflection
module that could be considered candidates for the same?
