I agree that doing

    select 2::numeric ^ 100;

should emit some sort of a warning. Because what happens here is that the numeric value is degraded to a float8 in order to use the operator.

Would this be solved by overloading the ^ operator with the pow(numeric,numeric) function? Would the 100 be cast INT -> NUMERIC?
