...but you shouldn't if you care about readability (leave at
least the last pair in the line) :P
It also helps other people (and me) to realize that it actually
_does_ something and doesn't just return a value. Often (not
always of course), if you omit the brackets it returns a value
without doing anything. But that's just a personal convention I
might abandon further down the road.
Since most ranges in std.algorithm are lazy they are usually not
doing anything but setting a few members and returning a new
range, often without having even touched the input range.
Thinking about it I think I may start using () to denote eager
versus lazy ranges in my UFCS chains.
