#1366 UselessParentheses false positive on multiple equality operators

[Thrawn]

PMD rejects a line of code that checks two values to see whether they are either both null, or both non-null, complaining that the parentheses are useless:

return (a == null) == (b == null);

However, I can't see a way to re-write this correctly and concisely without the parentheses.

Thanks for the bug report. This will be fixed with the next release (PMD 5.3.3).
