I think we have been throwing the term ambiguous around too 
carelessly. Obviously code must be semantically unambiguous when 
viewed in a Notepad. I don't think that's an issue with optional 
parentheses - the issue is just that it's "not as easy to read", 
which I don't think means the same as ambiguous (I'm sure about 
all english words though). "Not as easy to read" shouldn't sound 
nearly as bad as ambiguous - it's just a little inconvenience 
that can be gotten rid of by using an IDE that does semantic 
colorization.
