18470, "bradcray", "Should we drop the parenthesis from '.targetLocales()' queries?", "2021-09-27T19:00:43Z"
Currently Chapel domains and arrays support a .targetLocales() query which returns the locales to which the array/domain is distributed / on which it is allocated. It's been proposed that the parenthesis should be dropped here because the query feels more like an inherent property of the domain/array rather than something to be computed and returned.
A counterargument might be that the array value returned is nontrivial, that end-users haven't really complained about the current naming, and that the change will require updates for users / us for a fairly minor change.
