There are some badly chosen operator priorities in the C programming language that can make expressions without parentheses harder to read (e.g. for the bitwise operators), but the fact that postfix operators are executed before prefix operators is a very simple rule that is hard to forget, so for me adding such superfluous parentheses makes the expression harder to read, not easier to read.
