Comment (by vanto):

 Here we go astray. We realize that by moving {{{main}}} of two spaces to
 the right there is a bug when the expression of {{{a}}} is put between
 brackets (e.g {{{(...)}}}).\\
 On the other hand if {{{main}}} has its usual place and the brackets are
 not put around the expression  of {{{a}}} there is a bug. And the
 designated line is not the right one in my opinion.\\
 What does a member of the Committee think?
