This is silly, since for even n, (-x)^n = x^n (and for odd n the precedence
doesn't make a difference). So there's no reason you would ever want (-x)^n,
and to write -(x^n) you have to use parentheses. Also, in standard
mathematical notation, -x^n means -(x^n). IMO, unless there's some kind of
limitation in the parser that prevents unary operators from having lower
precedence than binary operators (or something similar), this should be
changed; the unary + and - operators should have the same precedence as the
binary ones.
