OpenFormula, What do you think of -4^2 ?

Hi,

What do you think of -4^2 ?

Depend of spreadsheet softwares (Excel, OpenOffice, Quattro, Lotus…), 
the result is -16 or 16.

With math softwares (scilab, maxima, R r-project, SpeQ…), the result is -16.

You can see a bug report for OpenOffice :

Thank you.
Bye.
