Now all you need are the opening and closing parentheses at the start and end, and we're back to normal.

Yeah, that seems a much more robust formulation of the whole thing. Flip all parens and enclose the whole string in more parens.

Thank you. I thought I was going crazy reading the article which doesn’t connect open and close parenthesis :: higher and lower precedence :: indent and outdent :: +1 and -1 and just flip it around to get the opposing polarity.
A real Wesley Crusher moment.
