%ERROR is the only BIF I can think of that has no parameters.  My thinking
has always been that the syntax checker allows () on any %BIF whether
they're needed or not.  I usually (almost always) code this as %Error().  (I
don't if I'm working on a program/module where it's already coded without.)
But maybe that's not so good.

I'm very curious to see what others might have to say on this.
