Description

F#'s exponentiation operator (**) looks for a Shared Pow method that takes its operands. We should consider this flexibility in VB since most math libraries don't support VB's op_Exponentiation specialname method. This would make the native VB syntax work with, for example, System.Numerics.BigInteger.
