    $\begingroup$ Yeah, the show expression is how I figured out these functions. I can see the use for invisible space (lets you place superscripts/subscripts without needing anything visible to latch on to), and invisible comma (lets you use indexing like in math). It's the invisible apply that has me wondering... $\endgroup$ Commented Jan 17, 2012 at 21:29
