          Issue ID: 23538
           Summary: Power operator does not work in -betterC
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1

As of dmd 2.101.0 power operator doesn't work in -betterC for double/double.

Due to using std.math : pow as the hook for this expression, which depends upon
exp2 which isn't templated.


```
extern(C) void main() {
    double input = 3f;
    double power = 2;
    double calculated = input ^^ power;
}
```

```
