After the update not bombing anymore :) 

However, pow does:

 <stdin>:2.0-13: unhandled exception 'signal 8' while evaluating 'pow 0
(-1)'

Did you want to leave this unevaluated or throw an error?
Also, x div 0 throws and error as well?

Should we add the following?

nan^nan = nan;
nan^inf = nan;
pow nan nan = nan;
pow nan inf = nan;
