Even if you have a C<sub q{}>, calling C<q()> will be parsed as the
C<q()> operator.  Calling C<&q()> or C<main::q()> gets you the function.
This test verifies this behavior for nine different operators.

 <kane-xs>  bug or feature?
 <purl>     You decide!!!!
 <kane-xs>  [kane@coke ~]$ perlc -le'sub y{1};y(1)'
 <kane-xs>  Transliteration replacement not terminated at -e line 1.
 <Nicholas> bug I think
 <kane-xs>  i'll perlbug
 <rgs>      feature
 <kane-xs>  smiles at rgs
 <kane-xs>  done
 <rgs>      will be closed at not a bug,
 <rgs>      like the previous reports of this one
 <Nicholas> feature being first class and second class keywords?
 <rgs>      you have similar ones with q, qq, qr, qx, tr, s and m
 <rgs>      one could say 1st class keywords, yes
 <rgs>      and I forgot qw
 <kane-xs>  hmm silly...
 <Nicholas> it's acutally operators, isn't it?
 <Nicholas> as in you can't call a subroutine with the same name as an
            operator unless you have the & ?
 <kane-xs>  or fqpn (fully qualified package name)
 <kane-xs>  main::y() works just fine
 <kane-xs>  as does &y; but not y()
 <Andy>     If that's a feature, then let's write a test that it continues
            to work like that.
