[COFF] Formatting of Expressions. (Was: Re: FD 2)

Hi Dave, COFF'd. I find unnecessary parenthesis annoying and clutter which obscures reading. If parenthesis are used only when overriding the default precedence then this beneficially draws attention to the exception. I doubt mandatory parenthesis are used in maths formulas by those that use them in expression. Whitespace is beneficial in both maths formulas and expressions. The squashed expression above will often be spaced more. if (a==b && c==d) if (a == b && c == d) Go's source formatter will vary which operators get spaces to reflect precedence, e.g. https://go.dev/play/p/TU95Oz57GuF shows ‘4*3’ differs. fmt.Println(4 * 3) fmt.Println(5 ^ 4*3) fmt.Println(5 ^ 4*3 + 2/1.9) -- Cheers, Ralph.
