   Concatenation or "space operator" means function application or   
   "() operator" in FriCAS.  So you can write "sqrt abs y x" instead of   
   "Sqrt[Abs[y[x]]]".  I like this notation more than "space stands for   
   multiplication".  After all, calculus is about algebra and composition   
   of functions instead of multiplication of numbers.
