Subject: relax double parens in expression_function_declaration?

Recent GNAT allows this:
type Result is record
A : Integer;
B : Integer;
end record;
function Key return Result is
(A => 1,
B => 2);
However, I can't find a rule in the ARM that allows it.
ARM 6.8 says:
expression_function_declaration ::=
[overriding_indicator]
function_specification is
(expression)
[aspect_specification];
This requires double parens:
function Key return Result is
((A => 1,
B => 2));
ARM 4.5.7(7) gives permission to remove the double parens for conditional_expression; is there a similar rule or AI for aggregates?
