What about: (replace-regexp "\([()]\) *" "\1 ")?


I think this is not exact, since "x)" wouldn't become "x )" -- maybe this is it:

        (replace-regexp " *\([()]\) *" " \1 " )

which is better, but ") )" would become ")  )": two stages/cases then?

Either (replace-regexp " *\([()]\) *" " \1 " ) + (replace-regexp " *" " " )
or              (replace-regexp "( *" "( " )  + (replace-regexp " *)" " )" )

which is: either expand + run length compression, or expand this + expand that too.
