The committee has considered a well-written proposal by Matt Austern (matt@physics.berkeley.edu). The proposal for exponentiation operator was rejected, but a related proposal to add a standard library function double pow(double, int); to the existing double pow(double, double); was accepted. Both the proposal and the rejection have been posted on this newsgroup by Matt Austern. References: Matthew H.
