 -- Operator: .*
     Element by element power operator.  If several complex results are
     possible, returns the one with smallest non-negative argument
     (angle).  Use 'realpow', 'realsqrt', 'cbrt', or 'nthroot' if a real
     result is preferred.

     See also: **, ^, .^, power, realpow, realsqrt, cbrt, nthroot.



The first line should be ".**", not ".*". The doc-string should be
