I agree with you it will be the best solution. I have of course no idea of ​​the difficulties to be overcome for this to work. The problems associated with the digit grouping is an illustration. I wonder if there is a connection between these two aspects ? When a solution will exists to generalize digit grouping (Home and CAS side) maybe the possibility to choose between "point" and "star" will also be offered ? I hope.

For me, even on a screen like de prime \( \dfrac{a \cdot \sin(x \cdot y)}{b \cdot A} \) is more readable than \( \dfrac{a * \sin(x * y)}{b * A} \) for me it's not just more beautiful it's really more readable... with long mathematical expressions I have a more immediate overview . This "*" give more painful reading, the expression is also less compact.
Have you ever seen a scientific book make use of this "*" ? Compliance with the typographic rules give much more enjoyable reading . Text written with MSWord vs Latex for example.
Although the screen of the prime is not as good as our smartphone I think he is good enough to support that type of improvement.
