Hmm, interesting. My interpretation of especially the table in the doc (not
so much the examples) would be that it pretty much mandates parentheses. One
might even go as far as taking it to mandate no blank between reloc specifier
and paren (but I wouldn't feel well going that far without it being said
explicitly). So my plan was to make the alternative patch, and then leave it
to you (incl other maintainers) to decide (with my personal preference being
the yet to be created alternative one, now that I've seen the doc).
