Use of `call`

[wanderingstan]

At ERC725-alliance talk in Berlin, @ali2251 mentioned we're using call in our contracts, which is not reccomended:

I think this is the only case here:

origin-playground/contracts/KeyHolder.sol

Line 86 in 0c9ba5c

success = executions[_id].to.call(executions[_id].data, 0);

@nick , I recall you explaining once why we had to do that. Does that still hold, or have improvements to solidity fixed it?

It looks like call was considered "ancient" as of 1 year ago:

Hi,

This is Junaid. I have been working on ERC725. I have upgraded the contracts to 0.5.12 version but i'm facing error in following line.

bool success = executions[_id].to.call(executions[_id].data, 0);

TypeError: Wrong argument count for function call.

Please tell me how can i handle this error. Thanks
