Well, that's what I get for trying to send a message shortly before going to sleep.
Maybe the printer could be taught to print (... . ,X) in this form instead of (... \, X).
This would probably be nice though (assuming it's sufficiently easy). The current printing form would likely confuse a novice programmer if they encountered it.
