If you like that... you'll like the ALLROOTS command.
Try '√4' ALLROOTS and you'll see that it applies a group of rules that will replace any square root or power with exponent in the 1/n form with a case list using the command XROOT (which only returns the principal root) or the actual principal root magnitude if it's numerically exact, multiplied by a case list with all the complex angles needed to return exact values for all roots.
I think the command is still incomplete, it doesn't cover all cases but it's easy to add rules as needed since it's a plain RPL source file (here is an area where I can get help from math-minded people like yourself).
