Thanks for pointing out the direction. Since this is unlikely to

Of course. Just write your own deparse function. You can start with
the code from the standard one, and make any changes you like.
Alternatively, just type your code the way you like it, and use
keep.source to have it displayed as you entered it.
I think it is reasonable to eliminate spaces around ^ and :, but I
don't understand why /, %% and %/% should be different with other
arithmetic operators like +, - and *.
I looked it up, and it has been like that since revision 2 when this
code was first committed to our repository in 1997. I imagine whoever
wrote it was following the pattern of some other language (maybe S), or
maybe just their own personal taste.

Hi,
I observed a slight problem in deparse(): it will add spaces around
most operators except /. I wonder if this is easy to fix. I know this
is quite trivial, but I will appreciate if / is not treated as an
exception. Examples:
It's easy to change: take a look at src/main/deparse.c. The operators that
are labelled as PP_BINARY2 get no spaces. Looking in src/main/names.c, we
see those are /, ^, %%, %/% and :.
But clearly this is by design, and I think it's unlikely to change.
