Santhosh Srinivasan commented on PIG-158:
-----------------------------------------

Excellent question. In my opinion, both are the same. The parenthesis are 
required when you have a list of columns to project. The simplest case is 
having a single column in that list. In the example below, the type of A.x and 
A.(x) are the same. The type of A.(x,y) is a tuple with elements of  typeof(x), 
typeof(y)

E.g.:

{code}

Foreach A generate A.x, A.(x), A.(x,y);

{code}
