Comment (by nbruin):
I would think most people would prioritize #20571 over such typographical
issues, so I wouldn't sweat too hard over parentheses at this point.
Another issue: while it's nice to have informative error messages, error
strings that cost a lot to be constructed only to be caught by an "except"
statement can mean a performance penalty. This is more an issue in python
than in many other languages because there's a culture in python (and
perhaps even more so in some parts of sage) to use exceptions for regular
program flow control, not just for error conditions.
