--- Comment #2 from M Welinder <mwelinder at gmail dot com> ---
I am assuming that "Last-bit rounding issues aren't bugs" really means
something like "the standard allow it".  They are still bugs in the "it wou=
ld
be better to return the right result" sense, even if severity is much lower=
ed
and considerations of speed and man-power enter into the picture.

For what it is worth, IEEE-754 since at least 2008 has recommended
correctly-rounded exp10 and pown, both of which are simpler than the generic
pow.
