It actually doesn't look very confusing to me, but if it is, I think adding 
extra whitespace around the operator resolves it:
   {some-long-sym  -  some-other-long-sym}
It probably really only happens much with "-".

An alternative is to use {e}, though I like it less for this case:
   {{some-long-sym} - {some-other-long-sym}}

You can keep doing that, naturally.  And what about this?:
   -(some-long-sym some-other-long-sym)
