There are two issues:

1) Unparsed output may be used by other programs, in such case user
   probably wants parenthesis.  So I think that we want _possibility_
   to print parenthesis (this may be turned on or off by a flag).

2) Effort is needed to determine when we can omit parenthesis without
   changing parse -- you noticed "sin(x+1)", but we also have 
   "sin(x)$Float" which is quite different than "sin x$Float".

Well, the change is to _printed_ output -- currently unittest package can
not handle this...
