You mean
foo '-'1
is parsed as
(-) foo 1
and
foo -1
is parsed as
foo (-1)
right?
What would
foo - 1
mean? If it means
(-) foo 1
then putting the extra space in looks a lot nicer to me than using
backquotes. If it means
foo (-1)
then I think this will break a lot of code, and is also very
unintuitive.
