Help: algpow(al,x,n): element x^n in al.
Doc: Given an element $x$ in \var{al} and an integer $n$, computes the
power $x^n$ in the algebra \var{al}.
\bprog
? A = alginit(nfinit(y), [-1,-1]);
? algpow(A,[1,1,0,0]~,7)
%2 = [8, -8, 0, 0]~
@eprog
Also accepts a square matrix with coefficients in \var{al}.
