I put them in as a reference to the macro that implements them.  They're 
already
lower case even though they begin a sentence.  I'll take the parens out, 
since at
least one person finds them confusing. :)

Yes.  I do a few formatting fixes whenever I change a file that I think 
needs it :),
but most reviewers don't want to be distracted by such changes so I keep 
them
to a minimum.

Fixed.
