Sometimes they're not necessary with compound expressions, but even then 
they're almost always useful for readability.

I tend to use parens liberally for not only string concats but also for 
multi-conditional expressions, e.g.:

if ( (word 1 of tMyVar = "Bob") AND (word 2 of tMyVar = "Sneidar") ) \
   OR (tMyVar = "Andre Garzia") then
    DoSomething
end if
