Re: [HACKERS] pow support for pgbench

From the comment:
 * For exp < 0 return 0 except when the base is 1 or -1

I think that it should do what POW does in psql, i.e.:
 fabien=# SELECT POW(2, -2); # 0.25

that is if exp < 0 the double version should be used, it should
not return 0.

Basically the idea is that the pgbench client-side version should behave 
the same as the SQL version.
