I do not think that this is good idea. exp(3) and exp(1)^3
mathematically are the same thing, so there is not much harm
in displaying them as the same thing. People may use them
to generate LaTeX, so we really want them to look the same.
We have cases when thing loking equal lead to different
results, but then there are tricks to see what is happenig.
One can look at kernels or coerce to InputForm.
