pure nothrow @nogc @trusted Unqual!F `pow`(F, G)(F `x`, G `n`)
if (isFloatingPoint!F && isIntegral!G);
  Compute the value of x n, where n is an integer
  Examples:

      import std.math.operations : feqrel;

      writeln(pow(2.0, 5)); // 32.0
      assert(pow(1.5, 9).feqrel(38.4433) > 16);
      assert(pow(real.nan, 2) is real.nan);
      writeln(pow(real.infinity, 2)); // real.infinity

pure nothrow @nogc @trusted typeof(Unqual!F.init * Unqual!G.init) `pow`(F, G)(F `x`, G `n`)
if (isIntegral!F && isIntegral!G);
  Compute the power of two integral numbers.
  Parameters:

  F `x` | base
  G `n` | exponent

  Returns:
  x raised to the power of n. If n is negative the result is 1 / pow(x, -n), which is calculated as integer division with remainder. This may result in a division by zero error.
  If both x and n are 0, the result is 1.
  Throws:
  If x is 0 and n is negative, the result is the same as the result of a division by zero.
  Examples:

      writeln(pow(2, 3)); // 8
      writeln(pow(3, 2)); // 9

      writeln(pow(2, 10)); // 1_024
      writeln(pow(2, 20)); // 1_048_576
      writeln(pow(2, 30)); // 1_073_741_824

      writeln(pow(0, 0)); // 1

      writeln(pow(1, -5)); // 1
      writeln(pow(1, -6)); // 1
      writeln(pow(-1, -5)); // -1
      writeln(pow(-1, -6)); // 1

      writeln(pow(-2, 5)); // -32
      writeln(pow(-2, -5)); // 0
      writeln(pow(cast(double)-2, -5)); // -0.03125

pure nothrow @nogc @trusted real `pow`(I, F)(I `x`, F `y`)
if (isIntegral!I && isFloatingPoint!F);
  Computes integer to floating point powers.
  Examples:

      writeln(pow(2, 5.0)); // 32.0
      writeln(pow(7, 3.0)); // 343.0
      assert(pow(2, real.nan) is real.nan);
      writeln(pow(2, real.infinity)); // real.infinity

pure nothrow @nogc @trusted Unqual!(Largest!(F, G)) `pow`(F, G)(F `x`, G `y`)
if (isFloatingPoint!F && isFloatingPoint!G);
  Calculates xy.

      auto result = c1 ^^ c2;
      // exact result apparently depends on `real` precision => increased tolerance
      assert(isClose(result.re, -4.64705438e-17, 2e-4));
      assert(isClose(result.im, 2.52982e-1, 2e-4));

Unqual!(Largest!(F, H)) `powmod`(F, G, H)(F `x`, G `n`, H `m`)
