You mean, in parentheses?

This is just my algorithm for converting an internal representation of 
the type into C type-spec syntax. It was easier to put the parentheses 
in everywhere than to try and figure out where they can be omitted.

But I suppose I can suppress them in the simplest of cases such as the 
above.

(AFAIK this doesn't affect the resulting code in any way. But converting 
field selections to casts and offsets may be affecting code optimisation 
so I will try and tidy that up.)
