I bet if you stopped 100 C programmers, more than 50 of 'em would tell
you that parentheses are part of the return statement, just like if,
while, do, and for.  They're not.

I don't want to start another religious war (the one on EQU or == is
enough excitement for me), but since the ( ) don't add anything to a
return statement I'd suggest leaving them out. 

My opinions are mine:  I don't speak for any other person or company.
