Because...

define type select_options
:
        keyword size,           default,value(list,type=sel_size_options),nonnegatable
:

define type sel_size_options
        keyword minimum_size,   default,value(default=0),nonnegatable
        keyword maximum_size,   default,value(default=1073741823),nonnegatable
:

If its command definition says it's a parenthesized value then you have
to supply a parenthesized value!
