I don't understand either of the two tests. Why rounding the returned value?
Using atom_to_float64() and the parser built in the interpreter is much better.
Don't compare strings, so that you avoid more false negatives. This had already
hit you about deg2rad iirc.
The arguments you used (2 and 2.3) are in the range where power(x,E) returns the
proper value. Try x=10 without rounding.
