Test case:

-----------------------------------
import std.math;
void main()
{
    int e = 2;
    real r = 10.0L;
    assert(pow(r, e) == 100.0L);  // passes
    assert(r^^e == 100.0L);       // fails on 64-bit.
}
-----------------------------------

The problem was 'r^^e' is using the version of 'std.math.pow' with a real exponent, although the version with integral exponent should be chosen, which allows a better precision.

The front end should avoid casting 'e2' in a PowExp to 'real' too early.

Patch in issue 11159 fixes this, r^^e was using CTFE.

One issue should be marked duplicate of the other.
