        //      applied to the Number prototype. Unfortunately, the 
        //      syntax would be weird/bad/confusing:
        //  
        // example:
        //  |   var x = 10; x = (x).pow(2); // x == 100
        //
        // example:
        //  |   var x = 10; (x).pow(2).sqrt(); // 10
        //  |   // which is clearly more readable than:
        //  |   var x = 10; x = Math.sqrt(Math.pow(x, 2)) // x == 10;
        //  |   // alternately, can be written as:
        //  |   var x = 10; x = x["pow"](2)["sqrt"](); // x == 10
