I would like to have a way to keep x/y in the Divide[x,y] notation, but it seems to go immediately to the standard form
qTimes[x, Power[y,-1]]
There does not seem to be any attribute that controls this as there is for properties such as commutative and associative, etc. Similarly, you have
FullForm[2/(3x)]
as
Times[2, Times[Rational[1, 3], Power[x, -1]]]
when I might want to distinguish between 2/(3x) and (2/3)(1/x) etc. I know this is normally a feature, not a bug, but there are times when I'd like to have more control over conversion to standard form. Is there any way to do this?? Much thanks. - Elaine
