> There is no greater joy in life than typing a sentence and realising it needs a clarification, a caveat, an addendum (in the same sentence, not a new one) and guess what? Parentheses are right there for you.

That's what I'd do. Note the conversion of the first comma to "and," as well.

I like this. It feels like more a person talking and less like a prepared speech.

The parentheses bind tightly to "an addendum" and change the meaning

Not with my brain's precedence parsing rules.

That might lead to a lisp singularity.
