With a bit of fiddeling you can use every kind of bracket to basically make function calls in c++

Here are the links to the snippets, all compile and run

Good point regarding the {} implementation.

I disagree slightly regarding your point that these aren't function calls. Yes technically they are different things but effectively they are functions, I cann pass arguments and get a result based on some operations.

Of course not all of these can do anything but only the constexpr value is actually pretty limited. The other ones are straight up functions
