It has nothing to do either with if() or Paren.  It is the ***user's*** 
function that is suppressing the output.  Consider:

foo <- function(){
x <- 17
x
y <- 42
y
}

If you type foo() you get

[1] 42

which is the *value returned by the function.  The value of the "x" 
statement inside foo() is made invisible (and would have to be enclosed 
by print() to be made visible).

cheers,

Rolf
