I'm probably exposing my ignorance here, but should 0^0 be really defined? I understand that it might be helpful sometimes in Taylor/Laurent series, but couldn't it give some other problems? E.g., sage: lim(x^(1/log(x)),x=0,dir='above') _2 = e If one actually defines a function and sage tries to compute, can't it spill out 1 if it gets 0^0, when it might not be the case... If I am completely missing the point here, please forgive the noise...
