However, it's a little more complicated. Until recently we

Memory lapse. I'd already fixed the NIST nls test suite so as to
substitute "^" for "**". So, even unofficially, "**" is not
in
any way supported as exponential operator.
I've removed the misleading statement from the matrices chapter of
the Guide in CVS.
