Re: allout mode patch for a few small bugs and cleanup of mode docstring

    first, does it hurt to escape open parens excessively?  i ask because
    i deliberately tend to quote all leading opens, so i can flow
    docstring paragraphs without worry about surprises.

It looks sort of ugly, and teaches other people that all open parens
need to be escaped.  Aside from that, it does no harm.

    i'm pretty haphazard about escaping the close parens, but decided to
    shoot for consistency in this last edit - apparently in the wrong
    direction.

There is never any reason to do that, so please don't.
