The idea is not limited to J in its applicability. To be clear, I'm simply proposing using spaces as a way to create implied parentheses. It would save a lot of typing and typos in any language, and works equally well when the default parsing order is left to right. It doesn't change the underlying J-likeness of J. I don't know that it is used in any programming system yet.
