[issue38237] Expose meaningful keyword arguments for pow()

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka+cpython at gmail.com> added the comment:

You can use a lambda instead of partial:

    squared = lambda x: pow(x, 2)

Proposed names look meaningful. But after adding support of keyword arguments please compare performance of the old and the new functions. I expect that the difference will be small, but we need to check.
