 * I interpellate for adding an operator |. It says it is an absolute value. It 
   would allow some calculations of results. Thanks.

 * |-a| = a
    I’ve got it figured out. I gave √a * a and that’s it!

 * **Workaround**
 * -5*-5 is same as 5*5. So you can use something like:
 * `(scale1*scale1 > scale2*scale2)`
 * **Implementation plan**
 * Let’s leave this as feature request but with low priority (as we have workaround).
   I prefer to have formulas syntax as simple as possible.
