Eeek! You're absolutely right, of course. That's just f(a b) which maps to (f
a b).
But I guess that's a further argument for f{- x}. If you want f(a b), you
write that. You can currently write f(-(x)), but f{- x} does seem cleaner.

That's encouraging. Okay, I'll implement these later two in the development
tree, and let's try them out to see if they're worth it.
