Just ran into a complex number problem by taking the cubed root of a negative number `(-4.0).pow(1.0/3.0)`, which returns `NaN` due to lack of support for imaginary numbers. However, Java has `Math.cbrt()` specifically for this purpose. Is this something Kotlin should explicitly support?

&gt; `b.pow(x)` is `NaN` for `b &lt; 0` and `x` is finite and not an integer
Even without support for complex numbers, library function `pow` must understand `x` as not an integer, I think
