My first comment was more anthropological than technical.
Somewhat akin to the election of "abbandonate" over "lasciate",
which is at least projectively anthropological.
My feeling about the use of these redundant parentheses is thus akin to my
feeling about the practice of wearing both a belt and suspenders/braces.
Inelegant they may be, indeed certainly are; but there should be no
sanctions against those who use|wear them.
Thanks for the clarification; it spared me the creative angst of
composing an apologia.

Well I, for one, am happy the issue was resolved to
the satisfaction of all parties.
Well, back to work.
