Excellent!
I've now added a power function to the mix, implemented in terms of exponential and logarithm. A more efficient implementation that uses fractions or other series functions may come later.

Great! I tried implementing a power using fractions, but it turned out that for larger exponents its convergence rate was very poor. (I needed ~100 recursions for something like 10^20) What we should do, is add a specialization for power with integral exponent. This is a very fast algorithm (also in respect to compile-time efficiency) What we could do, is to split power(z,a) into two: power(z,floor(a))*power(z,a-floor(a)); Regards, Peder
