>When was ** added to 1364/1800? In 1364-2001. >Was associativity even considered? I have a vague impression that I might have brought it up, but any discussion would have been a decade ago by now. If I did, I would have suggested right-associativity, but would not have pushed hard if others preferred to leave it consistent with the other binary operators. I was more concerned with other ** issues. For example, whether the operands should be self- or context-determined, whether we should have a real**integer operation distinct from the real**real operation, whether the exponent should be considered unsigned when the base was integral, and what to produce in the various corner and error cases.
