Agreed.

I find that in my browser it's a bit difficult to make out the different
operators in the long list; ISTM a single space between operators isn't
enough.  I wonder how can we do better; sticking commas (or any other
single character, really) between them is not likely to improve matters;
and using one column per operator is not going to work very well.  Maybe
if it were possible to split a single cell in several sub-cells; or
perhaps there's a way to specify two whitespace units, or a long space,
or something like that.
