In order to reduce ambiguities, expressions of the form (identifier) are not
recognized as expressions. There is no purpose to such expressions, as they are
equivalent to just plain identifier.

the "(id)" form is useful in some code generation cases where the id is a
trivial case of something that some times needs the () but where it's non
trivial to known if it is.

reopen at low priority.
