Hm... Well, it does say that if you have a parent in column 0, then
it's treated specially. If you have
"bla bla
\(foo bar)"
then the ( isn't in column zero, and \( => ( in this context.
So I'm not sure this is even a convention; it's just a work-around. And
what character to use in what language to get a similar effect is surely
language-dependent?
So I don't think this is something that needs expounding upon; closing.
