    Alternative:

    \begin{inparaenum}[(\itshape a\upshape)]

    This would use italic ``numerals'' in upright parenthesis.

but what if this is embedded in an italic
environment, such as a theorem?

my preference would be for the parens to
be upright, and i'm not sure about the
indices.  but this would handle that
worst case with a bit of overkill:

  \begin{inparaenum}[{\upshape(}\emph{a}{\upshape)}]
