Description
This is a very minor issue and maybe one that's better addressed using a style guide (which I have for Corelight use), I'm fine with that being the resolution. Same applies to the next issue I'm going to file.
The request is to remove unnecessary parens in print statements. I've noticed that some script writers treat print like a function call, so they'll do things like:
print (foo);
Is it reasonable for zeek-format to change that to:
print foo;
?

Research direction
Start by locating the zeek-format formatter entry point and the handling of print statements. Check how expressions such as print (foo); are parsed and formatted. Done means the formatter consistently removes unnecessary parentheses while preserving valid print syntax, with relevant tests updated or added.
