So do I, but the other day I had occasion to write a
small piece of VBScript, and I discovered that it
actually *forbids* parens around the arguments to
procedure calls (but not function calls).

Fortunately, it requires (or at least allows, not
sure which) commas between the args, so things aren't
as bad as they *could* be.

Also fortunately, the error message was, by the
usual standard of Microsoft error messages,
remarkably helpful.
