Different invocations of pow with the arbitrary precision argument as the base, exponent, or both yield different compiler errors, but all of them seem to be broken. Am I doing something wrong? Is there some other fast way to achieve exponentiation with this library?
Well it took longer than I expected, but: * Calling an unsupported function now yields an error earlier without the horrid backtrace. * The functions pow and powm (modular exponentiation) are now supported for integer types - the former requires an unsigned integer for the exponent and is probably dangerous (too easy to create values that take "forever" to compute), while the latter is safe and accepts both integers and multiprecision types for the exponent and modulus.
