-(6)^2 should evaluate to -36. Its (-6)^2 that evaluates to 36.
Now, gcalc is evaluating the expression correctly, but maybe you could argue
that the UI is non intuitive. You hit 6, then hit the change polarity button,
then hit the square button. Maybe its reasonable to expect gcalc to enter in
this expression: (-6)^2 or maybe this: (-(6))^2
Either way, those keys are shortcuts keys, and they do what they do. I
really don't know. What do you think?
