Exponentiation is written in conventional mathematics as if it were a postfix unary operator, parameterised by a value written in superscript. IMO this puts it in a whole different class to binary operators where both operands are written equally. I don't see a ** b ** c as a good reflection of mathematical convention.
Number.prototype.pow, on the other hand, would be fine.
