Yes.. ?

Umm, no, for ints you'd change the check to allow ints :-)

toint(pow(tofloat(x), tofloat(y)) isn't integer exponentiation

pow(99.0, 99.0) is something along the lines of ~inf
pow(99, 99) is 3762844539 exactly, because of the usual integer-wrapping

pow(FLOAT,INT) doesn't add extra functionality, but it is faster than 
pow(FLOAT,FLOAT), or it should be at least.

Most however really don't apply to integers

OK, that makes sense.


>It does exist.  Look in $root.add_flag(), the code even says:

Oops, I made a typo here. I meant methods.
I know it exists for objects, but I meant methods.

For example: http://www.nubz.org/method_meta.cold.txt
