## @defop Method {@@infsupdec} power (@var{X}, @var{Y})
## @defopx Operator {@@infsupdec} {@var{X} .^ @var{Y}}
##
## Compute the general power function on intervals, which is defined for
## (1) any positive base @var{X}; (2) @code{@var{X} = 0} when @var{Y} is
## positive; (3) negative base @var{X} together with integral exponent @var{Y}.
##
## This definition complies with the common complex valued power function,
## restricted to the domain where results are real, plus limit values where
## @var{X} is zero. The complex power function is defined by
## @code{exp (@var{Y} * log (@var{X}))} with initial branch of complex
## logarithm and complex exponential function.
##
## Warning: This function is not defined by IEEE Std 1788-2015. However, it
## has been published as “pow2” in O. Heimlich, M. Nehmeier, J. Wolff von
## Gudenberg. 2013. “Variants of the general interval power function.”
## Soft Computing. Volume 17, Issue 8, pp 1357–1366.
## Springer Berlin Heidelberg. DOI 10.1007/s00500-013-1008-8.

## Accuracy: The result is a tight enclosure.
