[New-bugs-announce] [issue28529] 0 ** 0 should raise ArithmeticError

[Jáchym Barvínek]

New submission from Jáchym Barvínek:

0 ** 0 is mathematically undefined and equivalent to 0/0. 0/0 correctly raises ZeroDivisionError, but 0 ** 0 == 1. Also 0.0 ** 0 == 0 ** 0.0 == 0.0 ** 0.0 == 0.0. Similarly for math.pow.
