I wonder if "raise ValueError" should still be allowed (as equivalent to "raise ValueError()") or that it should be disallowed.

+1 for disallow.

raise is a simple rule to remember.

Having VE == VE() in certain contexts is/would be like haveing s.len == s.len() or func == func() (a moderately frequent newbie request) in certain contexts.

Plus, why encourage less-helpful, no message exceptions ;-)
