I would also suggest that your competent programmer would know what
they don't know; when reading code they'd look it up, when writing

Using two different definitions of "competent programmer" without
clarification makes me an incompetent writer, I suppose. :-)
Andrew.
The correct thing to write definitely does NOT depend on the
competence or otherwise of the writer. If putting in
parentheses adds to clarity, then everyone should do it
since you are writing code for other people to read,
not yourself.
