Yes, but many peoples will use that for 2^ (2/3) by only adding a space 
between the ^ and the second 2, space that will be ignored by the parser.

The caret WAS supported in older versions but was removed. I still find 
some old, legacy, scenes using the caret operator. They cause errors 
that are resolved using the pow(x, y) format.
