@noindent is not a user-defined macro.  The rule and the warning was for
user-defined macros, and the rule is simple, user-defined macro that 
takes 0 or more than one arguments got a warning if they didn't have
braces.

No problem with that.  I remember adding this warning after some discussion
on this list happened.

So, no warning at all, no more warning only if the user-defined macro has no
arguments?
