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