Exponent Function Crashes on non-integer exponents

exponent(20, $pi) will crash...
Yes. We need to figure out a way to deal w/non integer exponents.

We're going to need to write ln function as well.
This would help simplify (and speed up) root calculations
@function n-root($number, $n)
+exponent($number, (1/$n))Is what we're doing in there is faster than what we're doing in n-root? Also don't know what we're actually doing for fractional exponents.
The bigger issue we have with that is exponents still don't work because I haven't figured out log/ln yet
EDIT: Didn't you see you said would help instead of a question.
Currently, n-root is essentially a pragmatic version of the guess and check method. Simple markup but it cuts a lot of corners at the cost of performance.
Oh, well in that case, assuming that our fractional exponent stuff works, I'm all for it (I haven't looked at it).
Update your gem to the 1.0 gem, totally rewritten from the ground up. This is now fixed.
