[issue32171] Inconsistent results for fractional power of -infinity

[Mark Dickinson]

Having read through the rest of that grouper.ieee.org, thread, there doesn't seem to be any disagreement with what Vincent suggests. So I believe that Python's behaviour is consistent with (a) C99, (b) MPFR, and (c) the spirit of IEEE 754. Closing here.
