If I enter in a cell "=-1^2" I should see "-1" as the value, not "1". If I
enter "=-A1^2" and the cell A1 contains the value "1", I should see "-1", not
"1". The binary operator "^" should have higher precedence than unary "-",
but does not. (It does have higher precedence than binary "-", as in "=2-2^2"
correctly gives the value "-2", not "0".)
