Um, 3.0 is an even-numbered minor version. Are we revising this policy?

True only for 2.5.xx and some 2.6.xx. CSH_JUNKIE_PAREN is gone again in
3.0, as you mentioned later. However, you should probably point out that
`if ( ... ) ...' doesn't work like csh, it just looks like csh. One still
has to replace the ( ) with [[ ]] in most csh-conversion cases.
