I'm sorry to bring the bike shed discussion here, but I would like to consider
** exponentiation. The reason is that writing ^^ for people with keyboards with
"dead keys" (to write accents for example) is very hard, because you have to
write "^" like this: shift+6 space (3 keystrokes), or even worse (unless you
use Emacs ;): shift+alt_gr+6.

I'm not sure if ** is even possible (because of pointers), but in case it is, I
will like you to give it a thought.

This is, of course, a minor detail. I like the idea of introducing an
exponentiation operator, I just don't feel very well about depending on
importing any module, but if that can be changed/fixed in the future, it's fine
with me.
