[issue8353] Negative exponentiation behaving oddly in python shell

Thanks for clearing that up and pointing me in the right direction. I should have tested print first. The assumption was based on the evaluation of (-4) ** 2 within an expression, which does return correctly. I hadn't made the distinction that the parentheses made it evaluate differently by containing the unary.
