I've tested, applied, and committed your Encoding patch, Nobu.

It's true that 0**0 is undefined, but I think 0**0 should give 1 because
it is common for polynomials to be defined with the constant term being
x**0. It wouldn't be nice if this didn't work. There are also cases where
0**0 could be defined otherwise contextually, such as with a value of 0,
but they are rare.
