[issue23429] -5**4 returns -625 instead of 625

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

No, -5 is not an atom. See The Python Language Reference [1]:

"""Note that numeric literals do not include a sign; a phrase like -1 is actually an expression composed of the unary operator ‘-‘ and the literal 1."""
