Maybe it's so that a type can plug the same implementation
into both nb_pow and nb_inplace_pow. Although the same
effect could be achieved by just leaving nb_inplace_pow
null, so I suppose that's not necessary.

Might we want to add an in-place version of the 3-arg
pow() function one day? If so, leaving the third argument
there could be useful.
