Pow operator precedence

[Gor Gyolchanyan]

the problem is, that there are two popular use cases of this
expression. One is plain old power expression and the other is writing
scientific notations of numbers. I thing we should stick with the
first use case, because at least for literals we already have
scientific notation.
