[O] bug#7980: Org links does not allow () - at least http links can contain that

This is not accurate, but usually Org plain links are used when jolting
down notes, as in the following example:

  Visit the Org mode site (http://orgmode.org)

Including "()" in the link could get in the way. IMO, the trade-off is
acceptable. 

Besides, you can use other link types (angle and brackets) for URL with
parenthesis.

WDYT?
