Yeah, I noticed earlier today there is an extra set of parens.  I think I might have copied the code from being a multi-line expression to being all in the return and just pasted it without removing the extra parens. In general, I prefer extra parens instead of relying on knowledge of operator precedence, but it makes no sense for the outermost layer of parens. -- Ian
