 The
 {{{
 make_clickable
 }}}
  function will convert a text URL into a clickable HREF. This works well,
 even with text URLs that contain a space.

 But consider this URL when typed into a post or comment box:


 {{{
  https://www.example.com/some-page(2).jpg
 }}}


 That URL will 'break' (when converted to an HREF by make_clickable)
 because of the closing parenthesis character just before the 'dot',
 turning the clickable part of the URL into


 {{{
 https://www.example.com/some-page(2
 }}}


 with the '.jpg' shown as text (outside of the HREF 'target')

 This was tested with  with WP 6.6.1 on PHP 8.1.28 and verified by another
 StackOverFlow user (see https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/q/426740/29416
 )
