[A83] Re: Superscript numbers
But aren't those all tokens anyway? There can be 2 tokens with the same
or similar ASCII characters, but with different functionality....

Because you need to be able to tell the difference. Look at this
example (try it on your calc if you don't understand it here):
x^3 sqrt(x)
x cubicroot(x)
You can only tell them apart because of the different superscripted 3's.

At the end of the Ti Ascii table, their are a number of characters that
are all the same, if they needed extra symbols, I think they could be
placed there.
