As far as I can tell, parens are only needed in type expressions for function pointers? Is there a reason we can't just add these parens when needed while pretty-printing the type expression, getting rid of these productions? This was a point of confusion for me in trying to get function pointers working. — You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

It reports back the type the user wrote, including how they parenthesized it, so it's comprehensible. How is it getting in the way? The point of non-canonical type is that you should be able to ignore them. — You are receiving this because you authored the thread.
