--- Comment #19 from Mikael Morin <mikael at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
I think integral exponentiation is different from other operators.
a ** b for integral b is a * a * ... * a, so I would say we can define the
following mixed operator types:
any ** unsigned -> any (where any in { unsigned, integer, real, complex })
unsigned ** integer -> unsigned
The second one is uncontroversial, I think.
The first one is slightly less clear, as the modular integer (unsigned) is
implicitly converted to a true integer before the exponent can be used.
