The same is with "pow", though this could be treated like the trigonometric ops, which we don't have for PMCs either.
BTW: What about trig ops for PMCs:
sin P1, P0 # no vtable, so ...
set N0, P0 # 2 more ops to convert sin N1, N0 set P1, N1
or op sin(in PMC, in PMC) { double n0 = VTABLE_get_number(interp, $2); double n1 = sin(n0); VTABLE_set_number_native(interp, $1, n1); }
or
trig P1, P0, "sin" # implemented as method in PerlScalar or ... trig P1, P0, .PERL_SCALAR_SIN_METHOD
C<trig> would use C<find_method>. The latter with an array-lookup/integer index (if find_method uses an OrderedHash as method table).
