There are certain times where parens are necessary (I just wish I

My favourite example of the need to use parentheses in LC is with URLs.
put URL "file:" & tVariable into temp
will attempt to put the URL "file:" into temp, and then append the
contents of 'tVariable' to it, because 'URL' is a high-precedence
operator. You need to do
put URL ("file:" & tVariable) into temp
to get the desired result.
FWIW, I fully agree - parentheses are very helpful to readability, and
should be widely used.
