/*
   This is an implementation of powr, not pow, so the special cases
   are tailored more closely to the mathematical x^y = e^(y * log(x))
   than to historical C implementations (pow was aligned to the C99
   standard, which was aligned to codify existing practice).

   Even then, some parts of the powr specification are unclear. For
   example, IEEE 754-2008 does not specify what powr(infty, y) must
   return when y is not 0.0 (an erratum was planned in 2010, but
   does not appear to have been released as of 2018).

   As a note: unlike many other functions in this library, there
   has been no serious analysis of the accuracy and speed of this
   particular implementation. Interested observers wishing to improve
   this library will probably find this file goldmine of mistakes,
   both theoretical and practical.
