Maybe it needs to be said that "good practice" implies that _all_
arithmetic expressions should be fully parenthesized so there is no
chance for misinterpretation.
... order of operations _should_ always be specified by
using parentheses.
I'm starting to do that in my code because if I've been reading code in one
language for too long I forget and start misinterpreting code in other
languages. It helps me make fewer mistakes and documents what I meant.
