Open syntax issues

php.js uses JsLint to help us keep our code consistent and prevent some common bugs.

Eventually we want all code to pass or at least take into consideration most fixes suggested by JsLint, following this JsLint configuration we’ve decided on.

q   Hi, great!!

Just one thing. Is there any special reason for using the brackets in this case, or can we just do :

1
return !(!handle || typeof handle !== 'object' || !handle.constructor || handle.constructor.name !== 'PHPJS_Resource');


Thanks a lot!!
