Unless we can teach editors (the most common ones used to edit RPM spec files) to do the variable highlighting correctly, explicit brackets are the way to go. If a variable name is surrounded by whitespace, missing brackets are okay.
Or, you can just build a habit around always using brackets and avoid spending an hour trying to figure out why a macro is evaluating incorrectly or why a file name is being written out wrong. :)
