Right, I guess it's a fundamental requirement most people are aware about. 
Nevertheless my point were only single integers.

I respect that but I have a different opinion. :-) Those parentheses have 
always been bugging me, they decrease readability for virtually no benefit. 
They're more an aesthetic issue though so I wouldn't argue more about it. 
Just will try to get used, and I'll avoid them where possible. :-)
