OMG, No! This is Calc, it fundamentally deals with Numbers and formulas. Not
text. 

Parenthesis brackets are accepted norm for the *value* input of negative
numbers. As such they are hardcoded in Calc's edit shell, just like prepending
a hyphen.

The exception, and out of scope use is NAN text strings.  That use is
appropriately escaped just like other NAN input. 

End of story.
