I think so.

I've never understood the people who put spaces *inside* parentheses
instead of outside; it doesn't look readable to do that in conventional
typography, whether of mathematics or English, so why does anyone think
it looks readable to do that in code?


(I can't see anything( at all )wrong with this, oh no. Spaces inside
parentheses are sensible( really ), and readable( really ).)
