I can't see that it does. In your example it's possible to look at
both the expression in the parenthesis and the lack of a return type.
I planned to only check for the return type since it's more reliable.

I agree. (It's the same thing with the c-font-lock-extra-types
variable - I don't think it's good enough to rely on that to fontify
types correctly, and so I implemented a considerably more elaborate
method to recognize declarations and casts.)
