Comment (by carter):
For exp 0, on float or double, I believe the answe is always 1. Exactly.
Note that this is ignoring negative zero. I believe that exp of negative
infinity should always be positive zero. But I’ll need to think about it
However, i believe that for any other constants the exact answer may
depend on the rounding mode at the time of execution.
