Thanks, I am aware of this custom since I do it in the commit message
but since get_mem_config() is a function in this file and it is not
exactly touched by this change, it did not really feel appropriate to
add the parentheses there.

I can send a v3 with this fixed if so desired or perhaps whoever is
going to apply this can just do it then?
