warning: suggest parenthesis around assignment used as truth value

I wonder why octave gives the following warning:

--------
octave:> warning("on", "all")
octave:> if (L = (1==1)), endif
warning: suggest parenthesis around assignment used as truth value
octave:>
--------

No warning if I use a 2nd pair of parenthesis:

--------
octave:> if ((L = (1==1))), endif
octave:>
--------

But isn't that last pair redundant?
