33// DESCRIPTION:
34//
35// Raises complex A to the complex Zth power.
36// Definition is per AMS55 # 4.2.8,
37// analytically equivalent to cpow(a,z) = cexp(z clog(a)).
38//
39// ACCURACY:

45// Pow returns x**y, the base-x exponential of y.
46// For generalized compatibility with math.Pow:
47//	Pow(0, ±0) returns 1+0i
48//	Pow(0, c) for real(c)<0 returns Inf+0i if imag(c) is zero, otherwise Inf+Inf i.
