The conversions you mention will be useful and appreciated but I cannot imagine you would use these more often than entering exponentiation. But, it's your design and as long as it's configurable, and there is an atomic command equivalent of normal [EEX] behavior, then it doesn't matter.

BTW, coming along nicely....

Just to be clear, EEX is used to enter exponents when on the command line. In other words, today, if you type 1 then EEX then 3, you get this:

   

The question is what happens if you do not type 1 first, i.e. if you have the stack, with a number on it, and type `E`.

The proposed behaviour is not destructive. It shows another format for the value on the stack. So if you use it by mistake, you type E twice, and then type 1E3 and get what you expect.
