Matrix Power ?



Hello,
  I did not find a function to take the n-th power of a square matrix.

One can, of course, write a simple routine to do this, but is there
already one built into maxima?

Incidentally, I looked at mat_function, but could now see how to use
it for this simple thing.


TIA,
  -sen
