+The pagespec regexes don't allow functions with no arguments.

+IkiWiki.pm, around line 1035:

+$spec=~m{
+ \s* # ignore whitespace
+ ( # 1: match a single word
+ \! # !

+ \( # (

+
+command(params) of course might be just command(). (See
+conditional.pm: match_included.) Trying to feed
+ikiwiki a pagespec without params will get you instead:
+
+IkiWiki::PageSpec::match_glob($page, q{function}, @params) ( )
+
+Which is completely not desired. The second + on that line should be a *.
+
+None of the builtin pagespecs "work" with no parameters, so it's hard to
+write a unit test for this. But can we at least write a helpful note in
+case the user is given to rebuilding the wiki by hand. --Ethan
