|Is this true? I've been unable to find any reference to the alleged

It's in fact:
Omission of parentheses around method arguments for method calls in
the argument list may make programs hard to read / parse.
for example,
p sprintf "the answer=%d\n",42
warns like "warning: parenthesize argument(s) for future version", and
recommended code should be
p sprintf("the answer=%d\n",42)
