Unfortunately parentheses have special meaning within a markup expression
and, as such, cannot be used as a syntactical device by a recipe such as
wikish.

commands following && will only be run if the command before the && results
in true.  Commands after || will only be run if the command before the ||
results in false.  Using this knowledge you can create relatively complex
expressions, but I'm afraid parentheses aren't implemented at all at this
point...

Sorry!
