Off topic, but the rules of math are not set in stone. We didn't start with ZFC, some people reject the C entirely, then there is intuitionistic logic which I used to laugh at until I learned about proof assistants and type theory. And then there are people who claim we should treat the natural numbers as a finite set, because things we can't compute don't matter anyways.

On topic: Parsing notation is not a math problem and if your notation is ambiguous or unclear to your audience try to fix it.

Nothing ambiguous in this expression.
