That's a point, when we have to implement a long formula. Maybe should I
suggest to embed a kind of Equation editor. This equation editor could
either generate code for us or maybe could we add Mathematical syntax? Just
such nowaday's equation editor would let us do. It would be more significan
than stuff like ** and more readable than a lot of "raisedTo:". What do you
think about this?
