    /*******************************************************************
     * The easiest way to check for balanced bracketing is to start    *
     * counting left to right adding one for each opening bracket, '(' *
     * and subtracting 1 for every closing bracket, ')'.  At the end   *
     * the sum total should be zero and at no time should the count    *
     * fall below zero.                                                *
     *                                                                 *
     * Implementation:  The bracket counting variable is an unsigned   *
     * integer and we trap an overflow exception.  This happens if the *
     * unsigned variable ever goes negative.  This allows us to abort  *
     * at the very first imbalance rather than wasting time checking   *
     * the rest of the characters in the string.                       *
     *                                                                 *
     * At the end all we have to do is check to see if the count       *
     * is equal to zero for a "balanced" result.                       *
     *                                                                 *
