I agree that it looks like a function call, thus my proposal. Here is
another one:
put the return expression in parenthesis only if it contains an operator. If
it is just a single word, value or function call, parenthesis aren't needed.
Examples:
return 0;
return variable_name;
return true;
return function_call(parm);
return (a + b);
return (foo == ENUM_FOO || bar == ENUM_bar);
