It would be nice to have "invisible" parentheses which could be used to group 
expressions together. It's purely aesthetic, but important none the less.

As an engineering student I constantly need expressions like "(partial V) over 
(partial I)" or "(a+b) over c".

While mathematically correct, it looks ugly. Openoffice will not format 
correctly without them (you would end up with "a + b/c").

It would be more pleasing to look at and would be correct looking without the 
parentheses.

for this, please use the {a+b} brackets.
This will group your expressions as desired.
