Well, the only place that numbers "naturally" appear wrapped in
parenthesis is tables of credits and debits... as a debit, sort
of a literal "add no value" situation.  ;)

Oh, and for footnotes, in typographically challenged contexts.

Me, I agree that numbers in parens don't usually make sense for
kernel messages.
