David Carlisle pointed out a error in my solution:  It always
prints an extra trailing brace!  Here is his fix:

\def\Term{\bgroup \tt \let\do\@makeother \dospecials \makeactbraces
           \def\@empty{\char`\}}}

\begingroup
\catcode`\(=\catcode`\{ \catcode`\{=\active
\catcode`\)=\catcode`\} \catcode`\}=\active
\gdef\makeactbraces(\catcode`\{=\active \catcode`\}=\active
  \edef{(\bgroup\string{)\def}(\egroup\@empty))
\endgroup
