I'm afraid it would.  If you've used a nullary function symbol and you
import a module that defines a unary operator with that name, you will
need to enclose it in parentheses.   If you don't the error message will
be quite unhelpful, since the compiler can't figure out much about your
code if it can't even parse it.

Cheers,
Mark.
