So, if you want you can write f(()) or or let z = (); f(z); or just f(), so in closure definition you can have one argument or can have 0 defined arguments if the only argument is of type Void.

I already said this on the bug you filed, but I disagree quite strongly with this interpretation, based on SE-0029 <https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/master/proposals/0029-remove-implicit-tuple-splat.md>SE-002 <https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/master/proposals/0029-remove-implicit-tuple-splat.md>9. IMO, going from (()) to () is a form of tuple splat.
