We had this plotting package here at UNM that has used the
notation a#b to represent the expression a raised to the
expression b.  I always thought it was bizzarre, but then
they are probably up the same proverbial creek.

I think they should use '@' instead of '*' (the unary
operator).  This would free up '**' for the power operator.  :-)
