I don't necessarily care if you use that particular syntax that I
invented or not. Feel free to invent a better one (although obviously,
I like mine). However, no disrespect intended, but yours is terrible!

C should mean exactly the same thing as (C). "const C" and "const (C)"
should be interchangable.
