I'm ok with all of the above except for `if ( ( i = j ) )`, which should be formatted as `if (( i = j ))` because the extra pair of parentheses is not superfluous. This is similar to `decltype(( x))`, and the`RemoveParentheses` option doesn't strip the extra pair for either.
It seems adding a boolean sub-option that targets double pairs of parentheses as I suggested before is feasible although a better name than `ConsecutiveParentheses` may be needed.
