"return" is not a function, so parenthesis are not appropriate
here. "error" while theoretically a function also is quite
special. In other cases my main point is clarity: sometimes
omiting parenthesis may cause confusion. Instead of thinking
when confusion is possible I prefer to liberally use
parenthesis. In particular compilcated expression have
more need for parenthesis than simple ones. And composition
falls into complicated group, so more need for parenthesis.
