Hmm...

Well, had I simplified that expression from some code I had written
previously where the power was an argument (and often fractional).
And, I had been working with complex numbers recently which led me to
overlook that potential simplification

(For example:

   1ad30^4
_0.5j0.866025

)

Though I can't think of any useful reason to support complex arguments
and I certainly didn't use them in that sentence.

But... you asked...

Anyways: good catch.

Thanks,
