           Summary: Equation parser makes it difficult to exponentiate
                    things with other things
           Product: kst
           Version: 2.0.4
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: equations
        AssignedTo: kst at kde.org
        ReportedBy: dvw at ketiltrout.net


AFAICT, if I want to evaluate "a" raised to the power of "b" with the equation
parser, I have to write this as:

  EXP(b * LN(a))

which, I grant, works, but isn't very nice.  I would propose something like:

  a ** b

which is something of a de facto standard (FORTRAN, Python, &c.), assuming
you're set on using ^ for logical XOR.
