...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.
This reminds me, I have to check whether my ranges are lazy
enough (like myself).
