Hello,

I'm working on a CLI RPN calculator using this awesome library, but I'm hitting a roadblock.

In dc, when we do something like: 2 1234567 ^ p, we (expectedly) get a very large number. However, when I try do to the same using decimal:

ctx = decimal.ContextUnlimited
z = decimal.WithContext(decimal.ContextUnlimited)
ctx.Pow(z, bigUint(2), bigUint(1234567))
fmt.Printf("%s\n", z)

I get NaN13, and nothing else.

Is is possible to use this library for very large numbers?
