Some years ago I noticed that the Power operator ** won't always give
exactly the same result as repeated multiplication, as described in 10.2.1.
"For calculating the power, the number is multiplied by itself for the
number of times expressed by the power."
An example is:
rexx -e "N=1.01; P=8; R=1; do P; R*=N; end; say N**P R"
-> 1.08285671 1.08285670
