I agree with your speculation. Parens can be used recursively too,
and they seem to use a bit less stack than parameterles functions
(this example is on WinNT):
>> test: make paren! [x: x + 1 test]
== (x: x + 1 test)
>> test
** Internal Error: Stack overflow.
** Where: test
>> x
== 5341
>> test: func [] [x: x + 1 test]
>> x: 1
== 1
>> test
** Internal Error: Stack overflow.
** Where: x: x + 1 test
>> x
== 3233
Notice that paren! is not the only datatype that has a different
behaviour in case of evaluation:
>> b: 2
== 2
>> a: to-set-word 'b
== b:
>> a 3
== 3
>> b
== 3
>> :a
== b:
Ciao,
