Comment (by rwbarton):

 I would be worried about not just IO but also some kind of structure that
 is intended to be produced and consumed in a streaming fashion, in O(1)
 space. Seems like that could blow up space usage arbitrarily with a
 repeated-squaring implementation.

 Including separate versions that use repeated squaring would make more
 sense (if we should include them at all; the use cases seem obscure and
 anyone can (already) just provide them in a package outside base).
