How could change 12+ years of legacy be considered inexpensive ? Non "highly trained professionals" should be simple things or try to learn something new that won't hurt, that's why Stack Overflow exists in first place, to ask for help or explanations about things.
This request sounds to me like "I don't fully understand how `Math.expm1()` works so please make it simpler" ... legitimate to ask but I would not expect a language core change because of my lack of knowledge. With great powers come great responsibilities ... you wanna code? So please do it right ;-) (not directed to you and I am sure you got what I mean) Obviously this is just my personal opinion.
