Context, man. In 90% of cases, they'd be talking about a real-world familial relationship. Sure, it's not always possible to be sure, but that's why I said: "Isn't it
usually obvious from context and content?" How often do people ask questions like "Who is that?" How often would the response be ambiguous? And do these rare instances justify mandating use of those infernal brackets at all times?
Think. For once.
