Yes, tried that. It does the exact same thing as not having the
parens. It does appear to "work" in the sense that it will be valid
code. It just isn't doing what I expect of it; and the most obvious
evidence of that is that the data type of the result is "object"
rather than "array(object)". (And if I do this in a context where a
'mixed' result is accepted, I then get "[*] not supported here".)

I'm doing this on Pike 8.0.1, built from a fairly recent trunk (plus a
few patches that haven't yet been accepted).
