I prefer to call it print_fixed_annoying_power_bug-code_by_me.cpp
Finally 2^(1/2) is printed in a correct, unambigous, though unusual form.

OK, the real reason why I changed this was a bug which occured when
I changed expairseq.cpp with the overall_coeff stuff. Deeply inside
the check program a huge expression was produced which violated 
ASSERTs. To investigate it further I wanted to cut and paste this
expression to a test programm, but neither print, printtree,
printraw nor printcsrc produced a suitable output.
Therefore I patched power::print(). Change it back if you prefer,
but I think in the long run this should be configurable by an
option to print().
