Swift style syntax

[Isiah Meadows]

That might work, although these two might need edited for consistency:

- Math.pow === Op.pow (assuming `**` gets in)
- Op.num should be similar to `x => +x`, not `x => ToNumber(x)`. The
behavior is slightly different, but can be observable without modifying
`Number`, I believe.
