If your preferred style is spaces within parentheses, there doesn't appear to be a way to avoid a space in an empty list ( IDE generates f( ); rather than f();). There should be an option like the ignore empty functions provided for brace placement.

I would also like to see this implemented.  I've seen it in other IDE's, as they give the option to ignore empty parenthesis when configuring whitespace.  A good example would be a code snippet like this:

std::copy( a.begin(), a.end(), b.begin() );

I know it seem whitespace happy to some, but with my eyesight( slight dislexia, legally blind ) it really helps to have these things seperated.

Thanks for the great product!
