When writing equations on paper, one does not usually use a symbol to represent multiplication. For example, instead of writing
a = b * c + d * e
one might simply write
a = bc + de
However, without additional information, this cannot be parsed properly by a computer. One possible solution is to add spaces between quantities that are to be multiplied:
a = b c + d e
It might be interesting to see if an "implicit multiplication" mode could be written allowing something like this.
Furthermore, by having a variable declaration, one could disambiguate between
function calls and multiplication as in:
