 Note that the other buttons reinforce the idea that 'x' is the
 "displayed value", which means 'y' should be the "value entered after the
 operator"; for example the "e^x", "10^x" and "x!" buttons operate immediately
 on the displayed value and have tooltips stating "e to the power of displayed
 value", "10 to the power of displayed value", and "factorial of displayed
 value".  This just shows that it's not *just* the tooltip which is incorrect."

+Adding Breda, my doc. person for her input.
+Breda, I think Sebastian has a good point here.
+I suggest that the label be changed to "x^y"
+(really x superscript y), and the tooltip be
+changed to "x to the power of displayed value".
+Agreed?
