This is actually not true. Given an odd function f(x)=xⁿ, n an odd integer or n
a fraction a/b with b an odd integer, implies f(-x)=-f(x) ∀x in the domain of
f. 
Hence saying "(-2)^(1/3) is -(2^(1/3))" does not add any further information  
to what the definition already says.
With regard to the calculator only, do you think is possible for kalgebra to
use such a property to correctly & easily compute xⁿ for x<0?
