i already did in the other thread -- apply the existing
() rule.  aka, avoid it unless it helps comprehension,
which means simple sizeof can avoid it, but anything
slightly complex should not.  this means that all the
fun cases will use () and the specific case i won't use
it for is left alone (snprintf(buf, sizeof buf, ...)).

thanks.
