Interesting. The use of unnecessary parens is a biohazard to everyone!! (Kill the junk) or else (its putrid state will gather foul bacteria in thy nose!) Personally I think that a good comment should precede a complicated statement. That should be enough for the reader. The rest is more of a preference varying from one programmer to the other. So the reader should have the ability to adapt himself. (Always to a certain extent)... What's your extent?
