The readability-redundant-parentheses check emitted fix-its that simply removed both parentheses. Tools that apply those fix-its directly could join adjacent tokens and produce invalid code, e.g. `return(0)` becoming `return0`.
Replace the opening parenthesis with a space when removing it would merge identifier characters across the removed token.
AI Usage: Test assisted by Codex.
