Design problem in 4.2?

Hi group, it's been a while. 

Perhaps there has been some discussion of the following but I have 
missed it.

When evaluating, for example, 40(8)^t Mathematica factors both the 40 
and the 8 to yield 5 8^(1+t).  Notice the space between the 5 and the 8. 
 Although it is clear in this example, given a sufficiently complicated 
input where what the output should be is not so clear one might mistake 
the above for 58^(1+t). 

Has the absence of a multiplication symbol in the output of Mathematica 
in these instances been a problem for anyone else?  Is there anything 
you can do about it?

Thanks,

Jonathan Mann
