Typically, yes, having "as many useful tools as possible in our programmer 
toolbox" is great. But with opDotExp, that's not the whole story. What 
opDotExp is, is a tool of only occasional use that provides only a small 
benefit, *and* ends up destroying a much more important tool: compile-time 
checking on a class's members.

Yea, sure I want more tools in my programmer tool box. But I don't want a 
minor one that's going to mess up one of my major ones just by being in 
there.
