In order for everyone to air an informed opinion, a related question is:
will loop fusion be allowed with function calls?
Loop fusion currently only works with operators, and adding ^^ would allow:
a[] = b[] ^^ 3;
But with pow you can't do that:
a[] = pow(b[], 3);

P.S. FWIW, I'm ambivalent on the issue; if functions were allowed for
automatic loop fusion that would tilt my opinion in disfavor of ^^, and
if not, it would tilt my opinion in favor of ^^.
I don't think this is a valid argument for making pow() an operator,
because what about sin()? cos()? It's all the same issue, and they all
can't be operators.
