Likewise. The reimplementation of (the parts that used to be implemented
of) -Wparentheses for C++ was simple enough and fitted closely enough in
my patch to include it. Getting rid of the many uses in Java seemed large
and unrelated enough that it seemed best not to try to get the final
removal of TREE_COMPLEXITY in the patch. Even without it there was the
0.6% compile-time improvement for C I noted - small, but not in the noise.
