Indeed, and in actual expressions I think it would be better to write:

Indeed, but it's also quite rare to need either (sizeof var) + 1 or
sizeof (var + 1), so the issue doesn't come up much in practice. In
that case, you are right that explicit parens help clarify intent
precisely because it is uncommon.
