Well, I'm no OOo developer, but I tend to agree with you that this isn't
great behavior. But the alternative is to break compatibility with
possibly *millions* of old Excel and OOo spreadsheets, which is not very
attractive. So it's kind of a lose-lose situation. The best thing to do
is just be aware of the behavior and adjust your thinking so that you
know to write stuff like -2^4 as -(2^4).
