Comment (by goldfire):
This behavior of parentheses is awful, in my view. Redundant parentheses
should never have any impact. (Yes, yes, I know: that statement is a
tautology, as it's essentially the definition for "redundant". But I
choose to define "redundant" to mean parentheses that are not needed to
disambiguate / alter the precedence of operators.)
In my opinion, this example shows why the current setup with scoped type
variables is a small misdesign.
