I first rejected any parens as not being native to how
classes/toplevel functions/control blocks are written in Python.
However, this looks quite clear to me. I'd expect that in most cases
it would be difficult to mistake a block of statements in parentheses
with e.g. tuple notation. And parensing works with the old "lambda"
already, of course.
