Given that layout has been used in Miranda, Haskell, etc., to determine
when one thing ends and another begins, it might be worth trying the
same idea within expressions. The suggestion is that any subexpression
that contains no white space but is surrounded by white space has
implied
Please take me off this mailing list. I no longer have time to

Thank you,

Well after complaining publically that people spend too much time
worrying about concrete syntax; I'm now going to do just that :-)
I've recently "discovered" arrays in Haskell and in writing a program
or two wrote something like :-
f x!i
I assumed that this would apply _f_ to the _i_th

So do I, and therefore I'm not seriously suggesting a change.
