I use the curly braces since I often use underscores for other reasons. There
would be no impact to me and this is the first I ever heard that parentheses
would work.

I think it's very sensible. It's surprising ^(...) works like this, and if
anyone was using it

Ah thanks for double-checking! You're right, that is getting parsed. Not sure
what test document I was using to make me think objects didn't work inside the
parenthesis.

`org-element-subscript-parser' uses `org-match-substring-regexp', which
indeed allows foo_(...). This is not documented in
Some additional things I'm noticing:
- when using parenthesis, :use-brackets-p is nil, so they're not equivalent to
curly braces.
- it does not support objects inside the parenthesis, just plain text, which
again means they're not equivalent to braces.
- it, however, seems to require that the
meric characters,
commas, backslashes, and dots"
But I'm seeing the following test document parse as containing a subscript
despite using parenthesis which I do not think matches any of the above
criteria:
```
foo_(bar)
```
