I frequently do.  It's nice to not need to, but usually I include them.  
OTOH, I've been writing code where parens around arguments were required 
for multi-decades.  But it makes it easier to figure out what the 
interpreter will decide to do.  Actually, in most languages I will use 
parens as opposed to remembering the operator precedence hierarchy, even 
among simple arithmetic operations.  Because it's easier.
