There's three power operators in Algol 68 ('UP', '^', '**') each with

As you have mentioned upthread, changing the precedence is scary.

Yes, indeed.
OTOH, folks who dislike some precedence (cf. '**', as discussed
here) might then "fix" it to match their own preferences.
Defining precedences for programmer-defined operations is a good
thing, but standard operators for standard expressions (however
they are defined) should be excluded from change; this would be
my preference.
