Having Op for all operator functions would be a good call. Probably better than adding Bitwise, Logic, etc just from the point of view of not filling up the namespace to much. I think short names would be fine so long as they were readable. So leftShift could be lShift but lsh is probably to mysterious. Even operator-like functions without an actual operator assigned would make sense I think so no reason not to include pow. A general purpose casting operator/func would be good I think but not sure if there is a point to specialized ones just to numbers, strings, and whatnot.
