This pull request adds support for the power operator (
**) across all major numeric types in the SPy language, including both integer and floating-point types. It introduces the necessary operator implementations, updates the operator dispatch system, and provides comprehensive tests to ensure correct behavior for various type combinations and edge cases.Power operator support for numeric types:
