What is the current bug behavior?

I don't know if it is worth to open for a code modification request but this line on "power" routine

if (abs(exponent)<=maxint) and (frac(exponent)=0.0) then

should be better rewritten as

if (frac(exponent)=0.0) and (abs(exponent)<=maxint) then

because I think in 99% of cases the frac(exponent)=0.0 shall be false, and the subsequent check is skipped if short boolean evalutation is in place. In my view it is also the logical sequence, only if exponent is an integer I'll check if it is in the range... (checked also on Delphi, it implements what here suggested)

What is the expected (correct) behavior?
