> The problem is that maybe sometimes you ''don't'' want a space. How
about adding a "{}" instead which acts like a seperator but otherwise
doesn't do much.
In what situations does the space matter in math mode? It seems to me that
if both were valid expressions before, then they can be separated by a
space without any harm... As I understand `{}` will do the same, but it
will make the code much uglier, `x{}y` is not as cool as `x y`. And I
think that readability of the LaTeX output is a valid concern since I
quite regularly take some Sage generated code and then do some manual
tweaking. For example - take a long polynomial and then typeset it in an
align-environment in a paper. In editors that auto-wrap lines on spaces it
is also preferable to have just a space separator.
If there are situations when space does not work, which I think are quite
rare since I cannot think of any, one always has an option of converting
things to strings, doing anything there and then assembling them back. On
a related note, it would be nice to have automatic vertical assembling of
such expressions as well, but it is definitely beyond this ticket.
