   are extended with the following functions:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
   power (x, n);
   power (x, n, monoid_operation);</pre><p>Returns, in FORTRAN syntax, "<code class="code">x ** n</code>" where
   <code class="code">n &gt;= 0</code>.  In the
   case of <code class="code">n == 0</code>, returns the identity element for the
   monoid operation.  The two-argument signature uses multiplication (for
   a true "power" implementation), but addition is supported as well.
   The operation functor must be associative.
</p><p>The <code class="code">iota</code> function wins the award for Extension With the
   Coolest Name (the name comes from Ken Iverson's APL language.)  As
   described in the <a class="link" href="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/iota.html" target="_top">SGI
   documentation</a>, it "assigns sequentially increasing values to a range.
   That is, it assigns <code class="code">value</code> to <code class="code">*first</code>,
   <code class="code">value + 1</code> to<code class="code"> *(first + 1)</code> and so on."
</p><pre class="programlisting">
   void iota(_ForwardIter first, _ForwardIter last, _Tp value);</pre><p>The <code class="code">iota</code> function is included in the ISO C++ 2011 standard.
