Seems a bit like StretchText.

In general parentheses in text should arguably be avoided in text. They almost always make the text harder to read. You can generally re-arrange the text to be clearer, sometimes by simply removing the parenthesis, in others by moving the aside to its own paragraph.

Thanks noting StretchTex. Never heard about it before. Indeed, it shares the same motivation: Allowing users to decide what and in which detail they want to read at.

I would love to see your conclusion about the usage of parentheses respected by authors more often, it makes content so much more accessible and would make a solution like this obsolete.
