[bind10-dev] a bikeshed style question: parenthesize return values?

When I started at ISC, parens was what Vixie demanded on for returns.
There are other situations as well, like you should use:

  sizeof(foo)

rather than

  sizeof foo

even though both work.  The idea is that depending on what foo is, you
sometimes need parens and sometimes not.  It makes it look like a function.

I think the same idea was for return -- make it look like a function call.

I don't have a strong personal preference, but after 10+ years of ()s
around return values, I think we should stick with it.  BIND 9 won't
change, and it will just add confusion if BIND 9 doesn't match BIND 10 here.
