I can easily rescind acceptance of a space-free matrix

other than just the name of a matrix, if that's going to be confusing,
and put in a more precise error message, such as "The name of a matrix
is expected".
My feeling is that since in formulas spaces are not significant and even
wanted in terms of style and readability, requiring their absence is not
good. I like that error message you propose.
If we're talking about special syntax, maybe requiring parentheses to
delimit the arguments would be an option, as in:
modprint ($coeff ~ $stderr) names
I think that would be easy to explain to users (like me in this case).
