Summary

0003414: Relative precedence of -. and **

Description

Full_Name: Christophe TROESTLER
Version: 3.08.2
OS: GNU/Linux
Submission from: ppp-62-235-157-155.tiscali.be (62.235.157.155)

It would be nice that -. and ** behave like in math. Specifically,

let x = 3. in
-. x**2.

sould return -9. (i.e. be parsed as -. (x**2.)) rather than the current 9.
(because it is seen as (-. x)**2.). The same therefore should also hold for
-.3.**2. and -3.**2. (while it is more debatable for the latter as -3. can be
seen as a constant...).

Best regards,
Christophe
