You might want to check that. I believe that x**0.5 is one of the magic
special cases that is optimized to run fast (by calling sqrt in this case).
IIRC the full set is [-1, 0, 0.5, 1, 2]. These were all of the ones that we
believed could be implemented without loosing accuracy relative to using
pow.
