Hey!  If it's "Beat Up On Roy" day, could we celebrate by pointing to
some specific obfuscated examples?  :-)  I'm not using GCC4.3 yet, so
I'm not going to try to guess what redundant parentheses would be
necessary to make that compiler happy, but if I've been writing code
that makes humans unhappy then I'd like to at least get some (more)
explanatory comments in there.  If there's anything that's confusing
you now, it'll probably be confusing me a year from now when I reread
the same source after having forgotten the process of writing it.
