I'm trying to get [pow 2] from -0.019022952498528478.
because it is negative, [pow 2] will just return 0 unfortunately.
IOhannes suggested in a thread from 2013 to use
[expr pow($f1, 2)] instead.
This returns 0.000361872

however, in Python and my on-screen pocket calculator I get
- -0.019022952498528478**2
- -0.0003618727217612709

so apart from the 32 bit float, shouldn't the result be negative?
