        use any of (case insensitive):

        work for that function (you get the variable instead). However, if you

        Usage:

           %autocall [mode]

        The mode can be one of: 0->Off, 1->Smart, 2->Full.  If not given, the
        value is toggled on and off (remembering the previous state).

        In more detail, these values mean:

        0 -> fully disabled

        1 -> active, but do not apply if there are no arguments on the line.

        In this mode, you get::

          In [1]: callable
          Out[1]: <built-in function callable>

          In [2]: callable 'hello'
          ------> callable('hello')
          Out[2]: False

        2 -> Active always.  Even if no arguments are present, the callable
        object is called::

          In [2]: float
          ------> float()
          Out[2]: 0.0

        Note that even with autocall off, you can still use '/' at the start of
        a line to treat the first argument on the command line as a function
        and add parentheses to it::

          In [8]: /str 43
          ------> str(43)
          Out[8]: '43'
