Shouldn't this be on a worksheet settings page rather than adding another checkbox?

I'm not a fan of the implicit multiplication mode since it adds yet another level of language incompatible with Python.

It could be a checkbox on the worksheet settings page :-)

Well it was voted out of being on by default for a reason, and it will stay that way.

Even on the settings page, it seems superfluous - makes more sense to put it in a init.sage file. Curious if either of the original discussers care if I close this as wontfix.
