Refuse numbers a double cannot hold; exact powers up to the limit (closes #3)
check / check (push) Successful in 1m4s

A power computed in float64 is refused unless its base and its result
are normal doubles, and so is a result other than zero that is not one:
below about 2.2e-308 a double keeps fewer digits, and at 0 or infinity
none. A literal that go/constant reads as 0 though it is not, such as
1e-999999999, is refused too.

A whole exponent up to 4096 either way is computed exactly and kept
when go/constant holds the result exactly, so 2^-1400 is exact.

ErrTooLarge becomes ErrOutOfRange, and its reply, "That needs a number
too large or too small for me.", is true of both.
