This is fairly consistent in e.g. Wolfram Alpha, Google search's calculator, Python (`-2**2` in that case) etc. So I think it's good that D also has -2^^2 = -4. It makes less sense for the cast operator or pointer operators I agree, but do you really want to add another precedence level for that? To me, that sounds like it would only complicate things more. At least now you know the precedence of every unary operator is the same. --
