OK I lied, I do have an opinion on this...

^^ looks like it could be an exponentiation operator to me, and apparently
Haskell and D use it for that. And if we added the ability to overload
operator^^ then I'm pretty sure people would start abusing it for
exponentiation (because there's no operator** in C++).

If somewhat confusing, terse syntax is preferable to bool(x)^bool(y) then
you can already do !x != !y. But I'd just use != for this operation on
booleans anyway, not xor (whether in single or double form).


I think new operators need a much more compelling justification than being
a bit less verbose than existing solutions.
