I'm not sure what that line of code is doing. You'd have to trace through to see exactly what sequence of tokens can lead to it being run.
However, I will say in general that it would make sense to me to split out implicit multiplication via a space and implicit multiplication via parentheses. It's only the latter that is ambiguous with function application. Unfortunately, this is a general ambiguity that is inherent in mathematical notation. Does x(y + z) mean x is a function of y + z or does it mean xy + xz? There's no way to know from the notation alone.
