True, ((m-1)/m)^2 can be the base of the exponential b^x. I left it in e^ax form to show the relationship between "m" and "a" since Tale was advocating for setting "a" directly.
I see some value in that since e^ax is widely used and "m" (sorta like a midpoint percentage) is just something I worked out. No idea if it's a standard or known method.
But as you see "m" has two advantages:
1) It's intuitive, you can deduce the exponential shape easier when reading m=0.05 compared to a=5.89.
2) There's a simple relationship between m and the actual slider value at the midpoint (mid-slider-travel).
Very important, m HAS to be >0 and <1 or it doesn't work properly. I'm sure this is obvious, but just in case.

Exponentially-scaled sliders would be so great, thank you if this happens regardless of the input parameters.
