Yes, now this makes sense. I got some private email as well explaining what's
going on here. The problem is that the open paren looks lisp-ish, and so I
want it to be a grouping syntax, but it's really just a marker that happens to
pair with another marker that happens to be a closing paren. I am not in love
with this, but I see how it happened, at least. It would be better if the
error message were something like "barcheck doesn't take an event," but at
least now I understand how we got here. Thanks to you and Pierre (and the
private person whom I shall not name here) for walking me through this.
