Gilles commented on MATH-1047:
------------------------------
Method "pow(long,long)" modified in revision 1537324 (using
"mulAndCheck(long,long)").
If a more efficient version is needed (possibly without safety check), it will
need to be reimplemented with another name, and documentation that clearly
indicates the purpose and caveat.
> No check for overflow in "ArithmeticUtils.pow"
