Comment (by lukyanov):

 And we can simplify it a bit:
 {{{
     x ** y = case (x,y) of
       (_ , (0:+0))  -> 1 :+ 0
       ((0:+0), (exp_re:+_)) -> case compare exp_re 0 of
                  GT -> 0 :+ 0
                  LT -> inf :+ 0
                  EQ -> nan :+ nan
       ((re:+im), (exp_re:+_))
         | (isInfinite re || isInfinite im) -> case compare exp_re 0 of
                  GT -> inf :+ 0
                  LT -> 0 :+ 0
                  EQ -> nan :+ nan
         | otherwise -> exp (log x * y)
       where
         inf = 1/0
         nan = 0/0
 }}}
