This is of course exactly what Pascal, Ada and other related languages do
with ^. It *does* make more sense than the alternatives, but there's no
chance of changing now :( hell, the precedence rules couldn't be changed
when C was less than three years old (when && and || were introduced...
with the wrong precedences for compatibility reasons), so I doubt a whole
new operator could be introduced now :)
