New submission from Tom Lynn:
PEP 8 currently has::
Yes::
...
c = (a+b) * (a-b)
No::
...
c = (a + b) * (a - b)
That looks wrong to me -- surely the parens are a sufficient
precedence hint, and don't need further squashing inside?
This will be worse with any non-trivial example. I suspect
it may also lead to silly complications in code formatting tools.
This was changed by Guido as part of a reversion in issue 16239,
but I wonder whether that example was intended to be included?
