[edit] Merge

Would it be appropriate to merge ordered exponential into this page (perhaps as a detailed example)?

I agree that the ordered exponential is a special case of path ordering, but could it be viewed as an important enough example to warrant a separate page? I think so. I feel that ordered exponentials are related to Stone's theorem on one-parameter unitary groups, but they deserve separate pages. I think a physicist might find the (time-)Ordered exponential more concrete and therefore more appealing than the more general Path ordering concept, but that's just my opinion.
