emacs uses the heuristic that "^(" starts a function.
this mean that a paren in column one which does not start a function will mess 
emacs us.
you can add a space before it in comment or backslash in doc string:

(defun f ()
  "Doc which contains parens.
\(backslash disappears in the reader but saves emacs)"
  code...)

#| add a space before "(defun" to help emacs
 (defun f ())
