Hi all,

plain TeX typesets the expression
        ${x^n}^3$
so that the baseline of the 3 is higher than the baseline of the n.

ConTeXt typesets the expression
        \im{{x^n}^3}
so that the baseline of the 3 is the same as the baseline of the n.

Is this intentional?

(And I do know that if I use \im{x^{n^3}} the 3 is higher than the n, but I
was wondering about \im{{x^n}^3}.)

Thanks.
                                    Jim
