Feature description

Issue: square root is treated as a binary operator (left * sqrt(right)). Square root is a unary operator.

Suggestion: when the user presses the "square root" button the behavior should depend on what is currently in the active input:

1. Just a <value> → √<value> →<result>
   (Or just value → result)
2. <value> and <operator> → <value> <operator> √ [waits for value]

If #2 requires a major rework, keep the current behavior of → <value>√[waits for value]

Why do you want this feature?

Practical use of sqrt requires re-entry of result. Also, the current handling of sqrt is not how calculators normally work

Can confirm that the first behavior is standard on (real) calculators. Push the root button, and the root of the shown number is immediately calculated.
