Dear all,

I attached a proposal for integrating exponentiation into the Ints theory. In a nutshell, the proposal is to introduce a new function

(** Int Int Int)

with the following semantics:

- (** x y) = x^y     if y >= 0
- (** x y) = 1 div x^(-y)     if y < 0

All the details are in the attached PDF, and there's also a corresponding issue on GitHub.

If you're interested, please comment, ideally before Christmas. The goal is to stabilize the proposal by the end of the year.

Best
Florian
