-- Here we have a negative exponent, and we compute the result as:
-- 1.0 / (Left ** (-Right))
-- Note that the case of Left being zero is not special, it will
-- simply result in a division by zero at the end, yielding a
-- correctly signed infinity, or possibly generating an overflow.
-- Note on overflow: The coding of this routine assumes that the
-- target generates infinities with standard IEEE semantics. If this
-- is not the case, then the code below may raise Constraint_Error.
-- This follows the implementation permission given in RM 4.5.6(12).
