The '^' and 'e' all print a '10 ×' at the begining. It's what is expected for 'e' but not for '^'. Did I miss something?
well, until now ^ and e were equivalent so if that has to change (say ^ no 10) then there need to be agreement about this as it's an incompatible change
I, for one, would expect 2^3 to mean '2 cubed', not 2x10^3. So I'd be in favour of this change. Then again, I have no code that depends on the old meaning... --Sietse P.s. Isn't MkIV known to be unstable? I thought the official advice was "If you want stability, use (a) MkII, or (b) a stable version of MkIV, or (c) a dedicated standalone install that you do not update.
