Comment(by ohshima):

 For the "pow(2,3,0)" case, a) we could make it so that it always requires
 a space like "pow(2, 3,0)", or b) because we know the arity of each
 function, we can employ a "greedy" algorithm so that we can make "," for
 the argument separator is stronger than "," for decimal point.

 A simple parser generator is called for...  Do we have a PEG
 implementation for Python?
