This is one of those borderline cases and Aaron said to go with the IEEE
(as I suppose that will avoid confusion between how Floats and floats
behave). That's good enough for me for now. So we get both nan**0 and
1**nan consistent and if we decide we don't like it it can be changed
later. All tests at present pass with the changes I've made.
