Clearly the outer parentheses are unnecessary in the last expression. One undeniable advantage of (f a) is it saves parentheses.
Yes and no. In ( ( ( foo bar) baz) x ) the parens can be omitted to leave foo bar baz x but in ( foo ( bar (baz x) ) ) You would want the following I think. foo . bar . baz x which does have the parens omitted, but requires the composition operator. --PeterD
