        !             8: that in spite of blanks, a group of things (like the $pi$
        !             9: and the +1) have to be kept together as a single superscript.
        !            10: The way that this is done is to enclose the group in
        !            11: braces - the characters { and } - like this:

        !            17: This tells neqn that everything inside the braces belongs
        !            18: to the superscript, in spite of blanks and tildes.
        !            19: (You don't need blanks before and after braces themselves -
        !            20: like tildes, they act as delimiters.)
