Hi

Can anyone recommend a way to simplify following expression?

(-1)**(1/4)*sqrt(-I)/2

I would like it to return 1/2 although various methods return different 
equivalent expressions.

i.e. 

   - sp.N(_) = 0.5 # note: I don't wish to evaluate it, here 
   - sp.expand_complex(_) = 0.353553390593274*sqrt(2)
   - sp.simplify(_) = 0.353553390593274*sqrt(-I)*(1 + I)
   - sp.powsimp(_) = sqrt(-I)*(0.353553390593274 + 0.353553390593274*I)
   
Thanks
Blair
