1.   You can perform your example from ginsh in octave by surrounding
each exact number with quotes and vpa(). For example on my computer: octave:47> expand( (x-vpa("1"))^vpa("3"))

I suspected as much it was a problem with not inretrepting the integers as integers, but I couldn't find any function that would give me an integer.

Okay, I'll try this, or the gino approach and see which is more cumbersome. My problem is obviously that I'm using a variable for the exponent x^k, but k is for sure an integer value.
