I don't see why. The * doesn't have a magic meaning *unless* it appears
at a word boundary with space or punctuator the other side of it. So
the * in x*y>z isn't magic. Is it ?
Likewise, x * y > z (which is what I'm far more likely to type) and, if
the author *does* go typing x *y > z they've only themselves to blame,
and the means to fix it is easy.
