    Add ceiling() as an alias for ceil(), and power() as an alias for pow(). · fc7fd501

    Regression tests and documentation have both been updated.
    
    SQL2003 requires that both ceiling() and ceil() be present, so I have
    documented both spellings. SQL2003 doesn't mention pow() as far as I
    can see, so I decided to replace pow() with power() in the documentation:
    there is little reason to encourage the continued usage of a function
    that isn't compliant with the standard, given a standard-compliant
    alternative.
    
    RELEASE NOTES: should state that pow() is considered deprecated
    (although I don't see the need to ever remove it.)
