I don’t have any problems with having two pairs of parens, after all we’ve done 
that forever in the case of assignments in if’s etc.  That’s a clear way to 
tell the others, including the compiler, that something fishy is intentional 
(until ‘sic’ becomes a keyword).

The problem here is that it does not work, although it should.
