 * This block raises a complex stream to an integer exponent. The exponent
 * must be at least 1. There is a callback function so the exponent can be
 * changed at runtime.
 *
 * NOTE: The algorithm uses iterative multiplication to achieve exponentiation,
 * hence it is O(exponent). Therefore, this block could be inefficient for large
