Exponentiation operator precedence

[Isiah Meadows]

I would have to agree with Mark on this one. I have yet to find anything
compelling for an exponentiation operator. I know multiple things that
would be more interesting, such as the proposed bind operator.

Several languages have it, but I don't think "it's in several other
languages, so it has to be in this language" is enough to merit an addition
to the language. And in my honest opinion, it doesn't look nice, either.
