What is the problem with @expr{C_(-1)}?

I just replaced

@expr{C_(-1)} with @expr{C_{(-1)}}

, despite syntax checker's complaints, and run make pdf. And the resulting pdf looks the way it should look, with all of (-1) in the sub-index.

Anyway, since @expr is just an alias for @math, I guess we need some TeX expert to help us out here. Anyone?


I have some knowledge of TeX, and ISTM that Vladimir is right: with C_(-1) only the opening parenthesis is subscripted, which means that you get "C₍-1)", whereas with C_{(-1)} the expression (-1) is subscripted, which means that you get "C₍₋₁₎".
