Why isn't `int pow(int base, int exponent)` in the standard C++ libraries?

Question

I feel like I must just be unable to find it. Is there any reason that the C++ pow function does not implement the \"power\" function for anything except

Answer 1

As a matter of fact, it does.

Since C++11 there is a templated implementation of pow(int, int) --- and even more general cases, see (7) in http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/numeric/math/pow

EDIT: purists may argue this is not correct, as there is actually "promoted" typing used. One way or another, one gets a correct int result, or an error, on int parameters.
