I don't think that's fair.  AFAICS the only reason there's a "Stray ')'" issue 
to be concerned about is because the ) character is used to mark the end of a 
Ddoc macro.

OK, I accept that it's rare that you get a ) without it being preceded by an 
opening ).  But there are surely much rarer (in code) characters that could have 
been used, or the end-of-macro marker could have been chosen to be something 
completely unambiguous like $) or )$.
