Another oddity which is not a near miss is the following:
		 
		 e ** (-i * PI) = -1

Note that what we have is the fact that a transcendental number raised
to an imaginary transcendental power is a real integer.

(I may have one or more of the signs in the above equation messed up,
since it has been lots of years since I studied AC Circuits.  If any
flames result, please direct them to ...!hades!/dev/null).
