Hi David,

I agree with you that () has the potential of serving as an incorrect    
comment.  However, unlike other types of comments, in my opinion the
consequence of this type of incorrect comment is almost negligible.

(Probably one exception is if, like in my other post, because of the
special convention, a person who sees "obj.stuff" will assume the
existence of "@stuff" when he derives a class from the class of "obj".)

Regards,

Bill
