This is the third time I see people trip on power operator precedence:

Some people expect this:
(-10 ^^ 2)
To be 100 instead of -100
(Note: Python here uses the same operator precedences.)
Do you think it's worth (and possible) to help D programmers avoid
this mistake in their code?

I don't like it, but I think we should keep it.
The reason?
-10 ^^ 2 == -(10) ^^ 2 == -(x) ^^ 2 == -x ^^ 2 != (-x) ^^ 2
Heck, or how about emitting a warning if it's a literal without
parentheses either way?
