<bartolin> masak: S03-operators/arith.t mentions 
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Indeterminate.html, as I understand it this argues 
in favour of 1 ** Inf == NaN
<masak> bartolin: sure, I'm already concinced that *math* makes the argument 
for 1 ** Inf == NaN.
<masak> but IEEE 754 deviates from math in some places where it finds doing so 
convenient in a computing environment.
<masak> for example, 0 ** 0
<masak> m: say 0 ** 0
<camelia> rakudo-moar d60a8f: OUTPUT«1␤»
<masak> m: say Inf ** 0
<camelia> rakudo-moar d60a8f: OUTPUT«1␤»
<bartolin> ok, just wanted to note the link 
<masak> bartolin: yes -- thank you.
<masak> bartolin: adding to ticket.
