The comment of df-oexpi seems like a suitable place to say something about where we can find out more about constructive ordinal exponentiation.
This is mostly in reaction to past threads such as:
and I think maybe at least one more past comment by @digama0 about what would be involved in adding ordinal exponentiation to iset.mm.
The good news is that ordinal exponentiation doesn't seem to really be needed for anything we have developed yet (including real numbers, https://us.metamath.org/ileuni/df-exp.html , https://us.metamath.org/ileuni/df-map.html , etc).
