  One more comment about the power operator.  So far most of the arguments
against it's use are reasonable, but not acceptable.  If C can have an
operator for such as % for modulo divide, why not one for exponentiation?
Surely the same arguments against such a request can also be made against
the inclusion of %.  Anyway, sorry to drag down the group with this topic.
