Will c++ implicit function calls be a feature of C++0x ? It is an interesting feature, but I haven’t seen any progress on this and the GCC C++0x page didn’t even mention it.

No they will not be included in the next standard update to C++ (C++0x). The idea of implicit function calls (informally: use of a niladic function name in an expression evaluates to a function call instead of decaying to its address) is interesting, and it wasn’t dismissed by the committee as a bad idea. It was classified as: “Not ready for C++0x, but open to resubmit in future.” (http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2009/n2869.html).
