```
Test for equality with no_flush, which has enough negation already.  Get
rid of the unnecessary parentheses while at it.

Makes sense.  This double negation was with us since a5752342
(pretty: support padding placeholders, %< %> and %><, 2013-04-19),
that is more than 10 years old ;-)

Will queue.

Thanks.
