@lukewestby suggested in Slack that (^) having a return type of Float would be better.
Thanks to @harfangk for finding the original issue and to @z5h for sharing it in Slack!

SSCCE
This happens because
(^)currently has the typenumber -> number -> number, but if it receives a negative second argument, it returns a fraction even if both arguments have the typeInt.
