    What are the advantages/benefits of the new Emacs style that should
    convince me and others to use it?

It makes the names of functions being changed stand out more.
Without the extra parens, they tend to get lost among the rest of
the text.

I was not thinking about automated parsing--I don't do that--but
that could be another advantage.
