The actual echo syntax is echo "Foo". PHP allows you to write echo("Foo")

Indeed. Note that this is valid:
echo "hello", " ", "world";
But this is not:
echo("hello", " ", "world");
I have in the past had a bug make it into production because the
parentheses around a call to "include" were mis-placed because of this
incorrect belief that it is "function-like":
if ( include('some_file.php') && bar() )
Is equivalent to this (will always run bar(), then attempt to include
either (string)true or (string)false):
if ( include ('some_file.php' && bar()) )
When what was intended was this:
if ( (include 'some_file.php') && bar() )
