Heh, well I have to chuckle at this. If you look at the files I  
touched, there was already pretty much a 50/50 mix when it comes to  
using parens or not *in the same file*. I was just trying to instill  
some concept of consistency in their use... too bad I seemed to have  
stepped on some sort of landmine in doing so.
