Yes. powerdisp affects only display, it doesn't affect the internal
representation of expressions; expressions are always constructed
with the same ordering. So when you enter foo, powerdisp;
or equivalently ev(foo, powerdisp=true); then by the time the
result is displayed, powerdisp has already reverted to its
previous value and has no effect on displayed result.
