Semiring is a ring without identities or an inverse. Thus, it has no
negation, zero, or one.
A Semiring with an additive inverse (-) is a Rng.
A Semiring with additive and multiplicative identities (0 and 1) is a Rig.
A Semiring with all of the above is a Ring.
Returns a multiplied with itself n times. For instance,
a pow 3 === a * a * a. Since this is a semiring, there is no notion of
a multiplicative identity, and so the exponent must be positive.
