    _______________________________________________________

Details:

Currently you can create a plugin macro that requires zero arguments but
there's two problems:

0 You cannot set the minimum *and* maximum to zero (as opposed to zero or
more).  If the max could be set to zero then the parsing code could be
optimized to expect no argument.
0 The syntax to call a zero-argument API macro is rather awkward:


$(my_macro )

# or:
$(call my_macro)
